What is a pest inspection report and is it necessary?

• A pest inspection report helps identify any pest related issues that are presently evident at the property or any possible future insect infestations. Obtaining a pest inspection report helps the purchaser develop a clear understanding of the quality of the property and whether it is suitable for purchase. It is strongly recommended to obtain a pest inspection report prior to the exchange of contracts.
• Pest inspection reports generally costs between $250 - $350 but this will depend on any complicating factors and your state or territory. The pest inspection report should be obtained from reputable firms that have adequate professional indemnity insurance cover.
