Ben, our experienced Operator from Pulse Building & Pest Services was more than pleased when he found a termite infestation for Brett and Veronique Curnette, during a routine Pre-Purchase Building & Pest Inspection. In an attempt to protect themselves from any first-home buyer traps, the Curnette’s sought out the advice of a trained building and pest inspector. Ben was able to supply Brett and Veronique with a detailed building inspection report containing any faults or concerns he found, and saved them money in the long run.
The last thing buyers need is to invest their savings and future into a property that is doomed from the start, which is a far-too-regular occurrence in the property market.
Fortunately for Brett and Veronique, they were warned of the infestation prior to purchase and could seek compensation by means of a lower purchase price. Imagine if their investment hadn’t been in the hands of a professional building and pest inspector and the Curnette’s proceeded with the sale unaware?
The cost of repairing termite damage is a $4 billion per year burden on the Australian economy and an avoidable tragedy for so many.
