Is a pest inspection necessary for new homes?
Yes, even new homes can benefit from pest inspections. Termites can invade any structure given the right conditions, including newly built homes. Sometimes, construction materials or landscaping can create environments attractive to pests. A pest inspection can identify early warning signs, ensuring your home starts off pest-free and that preventive measures are in place to reduce future risk.
How often should I get a pest inspection?
Pest inspections should be done at least once a year, especially in termite-prone areas. Regular checks can catch early signs of infestation or damage before it becomes extensive. If you live in a high-risk region, more frequent inspections may be recommended. Ongoing inspections are especially important for landlords, body corporates or commercial property owners who are responsible for keeping premises safe and habitable.
Can an inspection lower the sale price of a property?
While an inspection itself doesn’t change a property’s value, it can reveal issues that give buyers grounds to renegotiate. If significant defects are found, buyers may request repairs, price reductions or walk away from the deal. For sellers, having an inspection done before listing can help set realistic expectations, address problems in advance, and improve buyer confidence during the sale process.
Do inspectors check electrical and plumbing systems?
Building inspectors conduct visual checks of electrical and plumbing systems, looking for obvious defects, leaks or hazards. However, they are not licensed to perform full electrical or plumbing assessments. If serious concerns are found, the report may recommend a follow-up inspection by a licensed tradesperson. This ensures any safety or compliance issues are properly addressed by the right professional.
