The report may cover visible cracking, roof defects, damp areas, water staining, wet area concerns, movement, unsafe items, drainage issues, maintenance concerns and areas that may need further review.

A building and pest inspection can help buyers check both visible building defects and timber pest concerns in one booking.

The inspection may identify visible timber damage, signs of termite activity, moisture conditions and other factors that can increase timber pest risk.
