I know I’ve written about this before and no doubt I will address this subject in the future, but it is so important to get your own pre-purchase pest and building inspection done.
 I recently received a call from a man who had just purchased a house from another party, who had only bought the house six months before. The owners had another company do a pre-purchase inspection (to protect themselves) just six months before and gave the new purchaser a copy of the report.
The new purchasers though they could save a dollar and use this report rather than pay for one themselves. Unfortunately the house was under attack from termites.
The new purchaser was not aware of this and was not covered and now has to foot the bill for the treatment as well as any repairs necessary.
It’s an expensive lesson to learn so please take my advice, get a pest and building inspection done before you purchase any property in the Gold Coast, it will cost a little but it could save you a lot.
