BUILDING AND PEST INSPECTIONS - HOME PAGE

The Civil Law (Sale of Residential Property) Act 2003 and accompanying regulations require all sellers of residential property to obtain a pest inspection report and building inspection report for their property before it is offered for sale.  The regulations set out how a pest inspection report and a building inspection report should be prepared. 

Building and Pest Inspectors are also required to advise when reports on a property have been prepared for an intending seller.  This information is recorded in a database.

Members of the public may access this database to check whether/when/who prepared reports for a property address.
