Please Note

Whilst we will endeavor to provide you with as much information as possible regarding Pest Activity, please note we do not conduct a Termite Inspection to the Australian Standard 4349.3. This requires a separate through inspection by a fully licensed Technician. If you require the services of a reliable and reputable Pest Inspector, please do not hesitate to call or email us. (Homecheck Services considers it prudent home ownership to have annual pest inspections conducted by licensed and experienced contractors.)
The building inspection does not include inspections of swimming pools and spas.
Pre Purchase Building Inspections must be visual inspections only and as such, we must be respectful of the Vendors property.

Homecheck will provide a comprehensive written report detailing any specific problems the home may have and giving you a clear overall picture of the house and property. The report will be delivered the same evening as the inspection by e-mail with a hard copy by postal mail following soon after.
