Rentokil provides detailed property inspections before you purchase, giving you all the information you need to make the right decision before you make a significant investment
When you buy a new home you want to know that it will keep you and your family protected for many years to come. While property inspections are not a legal requirement, they are strongly recommended for assurance of the quality and integrity of your new home.
Our fully qualified building and pest inspectors work with some of Australia’s best solicitors, conveyancers, real estates and strata management to provide you with instant property inspection reports to ensure your dream home doesn’t turn out to be a nightmare property.
Prior to purchasing, it’s time to know as much as you can about the condition of the property. In addition to inspecting the property yourself, you can also arrange for property inspection reports. Rentokil can provide the following reports individually, or in combination.
Rentokil’s timber pest inspection will identify any threats to your property, within your home or in the vicinity. We check for potential loss of integrity in timber structures caused by termites, borers, chemical delignification (common in industrial areas) and fungal decay such as black rot.
A new home is a long-term commitment, you want to make sure that you and your family can live there in the safety and comfort of a quality build. A building inspection covers all facets of the building and is a visual inspection (no testing of appliances).

When purchasing a property, a strata inspection can help identify hidden costs. It can highlight special levies, planned major works, past building problems or an insolvent body corporate which could lead to more expenses in the long term.
Rentokil’s strata reports can help you make an informed decision about a future purchase by taking a detailed look at the financial state of the body corporate, insurance policies and building work histories.
