Why a building and pest inspection on the Gold Coast is so important
Would you invest your life savings into a house knowing it had major problems?
Obtaining a building and pest inspection on the Gold Coast prior to buying a property should be the most important step of the contract. Statistics are that termites effect one in three houses on the Gold Coast and as a result, this is a major financial headache for homeowners.
The main reasons for this statistic on the Gold Coast or south east Queensland is the building and slab designs and the use of untreated timbers. But not to mention the high-risk locations with no or inadequate termite protection and also conducive conditions such as poor maintenance.
Obtaining a pest inspection is essential. It will identify not only termite activity but any potential issues and provide professional advice on how to manage conducive conditions for termite activity or procedures for ongoing maintenance to prevent a termite attack. There is no home and contents insurance cover that covers termite attacks. Thus the main reason you need to make sure a full timber pest inspection is carried out on the property you are looking to purchase not just an annual termite inspection. But a termite inspection by itself only covers half the risk factors for timber in a home.
Why both building and pest inspections are important
It is also additionally important to obtain a building inspection on the Gold Coast.
The other issues apart from termites that can devalue a property are poor quality workmanship. Such as Cracking to masonry and structural elements or safety issues including asbestos. Insufficient building supports and also timber decay rust and moisture.
Another common issue with Gold Coast houses that can cause a purchaser grief are non-council approved attachments and renovations.
Fortunately, only a small percentage of properties for sale on the Gold Coast may have termite activity or major building issues. The type of home varies from location to the next. Thus carrying out a building and pest inspection will ensure that you have identified any risks and you will have peace of mind knowing you’re investing your money in a property without any hassles.
