I would apprectiated some advice please. I am purchasing a 14 month old house. I am getting a building inspection done, but should I also get a pest inspection or should the house have had termite treatment at time of construction?
A good building inspector can advice you on the need for a pest inspection as they can spot evidence of existing termite damage. HTH!
Thanks Cldy, I'll look into that.
Hi NonnieE
Can you find out who built the house? Ask the builder if termite protection was done on the development. Get something in writing. If it was included, is there a warranty? Get a copy of the warranty. I built 4 units one year ago and it was part of the council development approval to have termite protection.

Hi DIYPM
Good advice thanks. Yes I know who built the house, so I will get information from them if I can. If it has been done I shouldn't need to get a pest inspection should I?

If they used a spray protection for treatment, then as soon as the ground around it has been disturbed the treatment protection is void as far as warranty goes.
