What Affects Inspection Cost
Cost depends on the size of the home, construction type (slab, subfloor, multi-storey), whether a standalone termite or combined building and pest inspection is needed, and property access.
Termite vs Combined Inspection
A standalone termite inspection focuses on timber pests. A combined building and pest inspection covers structural defects and timber pests and is recommended for pre-purchase due diligence.
Value of Regular Inspections
Annual inspections detect termite activity early, before significant damage. The cost of an inspection is minimal compared to the cost of undetected termite damage.
