Pre-Purchase Inspection Sydney
Know before you buy – a thorough timber pest check before settlement.
A pre-purchase pest inspection in Sydney starts from $159 and checks a property for termites, timber pests and damage before you buy — often bundled with a building inspection. It's a small cost that can save tens of thousands and give you negotiating power. You get a written AS 4349.3 report, usually the same day.

What the inspection covers
We inspect the whole property to AS 4349.3 — interior, sub-floor, roof void, exterior, fences and outbuildings — for live termites, past damage, borers, wood decay and the conditions that attract pests. Using moisture meters and (optionally) thermal imaging, we find issues a walk-through misses, and deliver a clear report you can act on before settlement.
When to book an inspection
- Always inspect before exchanging contracts
- Ask for a combined building + pest inspection
- Request thermal imaging on higher-risk properties
- Use findings to negotiate price or repairs
- Re-inspect annually after you move in

Why do I need a pre-purchase pest inspection?
Because termite and timber-pest damage is common, expensive and not covered by insurance. An inspection reveals hidden problems before you commit and gives you leverage to negotiate.
What's the difference between a building and pest inspection?
A building inspection covers structure and defects; a pest inspection covers termites and timber pests. Many buyers get both — we can do a combined visit.
How quickly can I get a pre-purchase inspection?
We offer fast and next-day inspections to fit offer and settlement deadlines, with the report delivered the same day where possible.
What if the inspection finds termites?
You'll get a written report detailing activity and damage, which you can use to renegotiate, require treatment as a condition, or walk away — before you're locked in.
Is a pre-purchase pest inspection worth the cost?
Absolutely — from $159 it can save tens of thousands in undisclosed damage and is one of the cheapest safeguards in the entire buying process.
