THE EXTERIOR

The external areas of the report must include all areas of the property's exterior. All properties are built differently therefore each report will vary.  

As a purchaser you should make sure your inspector has covered all areas of the property of interest. Your inspector should be addressing areas such as brickwork, rendering finishes, driveways, gutters, downpipes, flashings, windows, window frames, flyscreens, doors and door locks, gates, pergolas, balconies, decking's, veranda’s, pathways, paving, drainage, fencing, retaining walls, exterior paint works and structural works etc.

TERMITE FINDINGS

A Pest Inspection can save you thousands of dollars.  Termites have been around since the dinosaur ages. They are a whitish soft-bodied ant-like social insect that feeds on wood.  Termites resemble ants in their appearance, manner of living, and social organization, but are not closely related. Termites can be very destructive to wooden buildings and structures causing up to 2 billion dollars a year.
