Pre-purchase or building and pest for a Deanside home?
When the building report is enough and when timber pests should be added.
In short: Both inspect the building. Only one looks for termites.
The building inspection
Covers structure, movement, damp and safety under AS 4349.1.
Adding timber pest
An AS 4349.3 inspection looks for termites, borers, decay and the conditions that invite them.
Young homes
For a near-new house with little landscaping, building only can be enough. Established gardens, timber features or moisture point to adding pest.
One visit
Building and pest is done in a single visit with one combined report.
