  11. ........I think you need to find out what has been done .......and what needs to be done ........just getting these estimates can be expensive ........is the house priced to reflect this? ........often until invasive investigation is done ........the extent of the damage can't be seen ........it's a gamble at best ........termites can be eradicated .... ........damage repaired ....,,,,and regular checks can prevent reinfestation ..........it's about the extra cost to you after you have purchased the house ..........is it worth the price .........good luck with your choice and outcome
  12. ..........a few more points to consider.... If the property has active termites ensure that the costs of treatments and repairs will be paid by the seller before the purchase goes through Make sure they use a reputable termite treatment company that carries out a complete treatment and provides a guarantee, which will pass on to you (as the new owner). Sellers will often employ the cheapest pest controller to do the cheapest job – “just squirt a bit of chemical to kill the termites you can see”. Without a comprehensive treatment, the termites will come back! If a previous treatment has been carried out, understand whether it is still under guarantee and whether such an agreement can be transferred to you If the home is a new build, establish that timbers have been pre-treated or what type of termite protection has been included in the construction and that there are termite warranties on the property The bottom line is that buying a home with a history of termites does not have to lead to future problems, with the risk of seeing your investment being eaten away (literally). Knowledge is power and a comprehensive pest inspection is key. Termites can be controlled and eradicated, and a termite history could prove a strong lever in your favour when it comes to negotiating your purchase price.
  13. .........do get the damage assessment .... ........and don't forget decorating,plaster paint if needed on top! .........also depending on foundation treatment will you have to factor in flooring? ........it's the little things that mount up and therefore escalate the cost
  14. .........termites are the bane of householders! .........the link below will give you some idea of costs https://www.pest-ex.com.au/blog/how-much-termite-treatment-cost/ ........how far from the house is the fence? .......not usually a worry if far enough away .......but having both the roof and floor having evidence could be costly .... .......do the roof timbers need to be replaced .... ..........might be worth getting a builders quote for repairs ...........good luck
