What's involved in a commercial building and pest?

The inspection typically involves a licensed building and pest inspector visiting the property and conducting a thorough visual examination of the building's interior and exterior, including its roof, walls, foundation, insulation, and ventilation. The inspector will also assess the property for any signs of timber pest activity or damage caused by timber pests, such as termites or timber borers.

Once the inspection is complete, the inspector will provide a detailed report outlining any issues or defects found, as well as any recommended repairs or maintenance. This enables buyers to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase or withdraw from the contract.

Many people also refer to the report when negotiating a lower price or terms on the contract. For vendors, the report can also be used to negotiate with potential buyers or tenants or to prioritize necessary repairs or upgrades.
