Property investments have never been a small thing, but in recent years, they have become even less so. Our homes and our properties are demanding a premium, with a growing population and speculation on real estate driving a spike in housing costs. Now, for most Australians, your home is your nest egg, a large investment to potentially put towards your retirement, or your children’s education.
As such, and like any other investment, it pays to ensure that your investment is protected. Damage to your home must be hedged against in the form of home insurance, in case of fire or weather-related damage. However, an underrated element of home maintenance and preservation are termite inspections.
Recently, a home was purchased up in the Sunshine Coast area. A large home on a leafy estate, it fetched a considerably sum. Unfortunately, the owner, months later, chose to flip it for a six-figure loss. How could this be?
This eager purchaser had neglected to conduct a proper pest inspection. And unknown to the prior owner or the agent, the house was hosting a termite inspection of notable size and extend. The home had clearly been infested for many months, and the creatures had managed to damage it to the point of making it structurally unsound.
A basic termite inspection protect you from a similar fate. This case goes to show the discreetness of a termite infestation, and how they can quietly and industriously go about their business for months at a time without raising any alarms. To ensure the safety of your investment, and retain the benefits of home and property ownership down the line, termite inspections are vital.
