What’s Included

Pest and Termite Inspection

Most property and home buyers prefer to have the building and pest inspections performed at the same time. This reduces inconvenience, and minimise additional travel costs to the customer, but in some cases you may just want a pest inspection done, pest inspections are carried out as per AS4349.3-2020, we highlight not only the evidence of live pest, but we also highlight conducive element to pest attack, we offer suggestions to minimise risks as well as termite management plans, further to this we will also advise of any historic evidence of pest damage, the likelihood of further infestation and even comment on possibly structural defects related to pest attacks, this report is an extremely important report to carry out, as 1 in 3 homes have evidence of pests.

Pest Treatment Recommendations (optional)

If our pest inspection shows evidence of pests, mould or fungal problems, we can assist you with the use of several of Perth’s leading pest control companies who we work with all the time. We believe getting pests under control and keeping them controlled are vital to keeping your home safe, many pest related defects are NOT covered under your home insurance, it is therefore EXTREAMLY important to stay on top of your treatment plans, but you can leave all that concern and worry to us.

Detailed Report with Photos

We issue a detailed and customised report, broken down into easy to understand sub sections, each section containing the possible defects attached to the relevant image/s. The report subsections are identified in order of historic pest attack, evidence of live pests, the property itself and how it relates to pests, and conducive elements, followed by possible major defects directly related to pest infestation, the report is finished off with a comparative summary – It does not end there, once the report is sent, we include a consultation to ensure the buyer is made fully aware of the property inspected.

I recently purchase a property from interstate and requested a pest and building inspection.The property manager that sold the house on behalf of a elderly couple went around to have a cup of tea with the owners and contacted myself saying what a polite and honest man Pietro was and a pleasure to have him inspected the property.Not only did he give myself a same day service full written report Pietro found a package containing a sum of money and a couple of item belonging the the elderly couple in the roof while inspecting it.He handed it back with a smile.This is the most honest quick and reliable service a great business needs.Thankyou Pietro 5 stars.

I highly recommend Pierus. They were easy to deal with, extremely responsive and knowledgeable. We received the report on the same day as the inspection and the inspector, Russell was happy to talk through the report and help answer our questions. Pricing was good too.

The whole process was clearly communicated, the report I received was comprehensive, thorough and easy to read. Finally a response to my follow up questions was prompt and professional.I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

FAQ

Can you perform same-day inspections?

Pierus is focused on getting you the highest quality, detailed building inspection reports within 24 hours.

What do you include in your pest and termite inspection report?

We document our finding, defects and commentary in plain-english. Our pest inspections also include comprehensive and full photo reports.

Why do I need a pest inspection?

In Western Australia, your contract obligations will include a building and pest inspection.

All Pest Inspections are done in a fair and non-biased fashion. We are providing an objective assessment of the home and a detailed report of any faults so they can be attended to for the betterment of the building. It is for this reason that we offer our services to both the home buyer and the seller, for complete peace of mind.

It is vital that when investing in one of the most important purchases you will make, that the appropriate time is taken to ensure you are investing in a home that is sound of any structural risks and pests, not to mention hidden or unseen risks that may come back to bite you later.

Our Pest and termite Inspection is the highest level of building inspection that can offered in accordance to Australian guidelines set out under Australian standard AS 4349.3-2010  timber pest inspection requirements.

What is the cost?

Based on 4×2 home, Pest and Termite Inspection costs $259+GST.

Don’t forget, we beat any price!

What happens if your report uncovers pests or termites?

Pierus pest inspections are in accordance with Australian Standards which means they are recognised by solicitors and real estate agents. The evidence or proof which is enclosed in our reports can be used by you and your solicitor to assess whether the contract has certain conditions to enable you to rescind the contract.

Is it cheaper to combine the BUILDING inspection and the PEST inspection?

Yes! Our combined comprehensive pre purchase building + pest inspection is our most popular service and our best value.

Combine them and save almost 20% compared to if you ordered them separately.

For example, based on 4×2 home, a Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspection costs $349 inc GST and a Pest and Termite Inspection costs $259 inc GST. So if ordered separately, you would pay $608.

In comparison, simply combine the exact same services in the same order and it costs you only $499.

That’s almost a 20% saving. not to mention the time and headache saving for you!

What is the difference between a building inspection and a pest inspection?

This is a common question. A pre-purchase building inspection report will identify any damage as a result of termites, but it won’t detail if termites or other timber destroying pests are present, it is therefore imperative to ensure you purchase both the pre purchase Building Inspection and Pest Inspection so as to comply with the clauses applied in the contract of sale by the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia.
