Townsville’s Smartest Move: Get a Building and Pest Inspection Before You Buy

Thinking of buying in Townsville? Pause. Then call us.

That picture-perfect home might not be so perfect underneath. Behind the freshly painted walls or that charming façade could be termites quietly eating away at the structure, or hidden water damage that turns into costly repairs. You wouldn’t buy a car without popping the hood, so why risk it with a house?

At Golds Termites, we believe every buyer deserves to know exactly what they’re walking into.

What Is a Building and Pest Inspection (And Why Should You Care)?

Think of it as an X-ray for your future home.

Building Inspections vs Pest Inspections — What’s the Difference?

Some buyers assume a general building inspection covers everything, but it’s important to understand the difference. A building inspection looks at the structural side of things, whether the roof is sound, if the plumbing works, whether the place meets safety standards.

A pest inspection, on the other hand, specifically looks for termites, borers, and other timber pests. And in our part of the country, that is something you don’t want to overlook.

A Small Step That Can Save Big Costs Later – Pre Purchase Pest Inspection Townsville

The thing about termite damage is that it often isn’t covered by insurance. So if you find out six months after moving in that you have got a serious problem, the cost of repairs is all yours.

That’s why we encourage every homebuyer, whether it’s your first home or your fifth, to book a pest inspection before settlement. It’s a small cost compared to the price of the home itself, and it gives you the chance to ask for treatment, negotiate the price, or simply walk away if the issue is too big.
