You are a fountain of knowledge! Thank you for that post, it is tremendous help to read your experiences.

Apparently the termites are not active, the vendors say they have a certificate from some pest control co. to attest the fact. I will see it tonight.

Just like you, there was ‘junk’ cluttering the bathroom (which is where the problems often start), and the room which had the most skirting board damage. Also the fence and garage were effectively eaten out. Recent repairs on the latter two were apparant. Of course, the inspector ticked “No Access” and promoted a “second, more invasive” search. :roll:

House is a good buy, possibly not a great one. Very frustrating, given the extent of damage is impossible to tell. Maybe I should go in with a trusty screwdriver and do my own research!

It is about the location though, and the damage done has been fixed, cosmetically at least. I’m told the termites are NOT active. If I decide to buy, an extensive clean-up and termite-parameter is needed.

Few days till I have to Yay or Nay the home… PLEASE comment, any and all opinions and experiences are welcome in this thread

I’m told there is are no active termites, only termite damage from the past. To the eye, it is not extensive, more aesthetic. Does that change anyone’s thinking?

I hear Brisbane and Sydney home owners are less fazed by the T word than us in the cooler cities.

Look forward to more replies!
