What to consider.

If a plant concerns you, ask for a qualified specialist’s assessment and any treatment records, management plans or guarantees. Discuss relevant documents with your conveyancer and lender.

Useful questions to ask.

  • Has a qualified specialist assessed the plant and the site?
  • Are treatment records, a management plan or guarantees available?
  • Have your conveyancer and lender considered the relevant documents?

Ask about the whole picture.

Tell me about suspected plants and any previous treatment when you arrange your HomeScan. I can explain what was visible during the inspection and any limitations, and recommend specialist advice where appropriate.

Identification and significance are property-specific. Do not rely on a photograph or a single distance rule.

What does this mean for your plans?

Your budget, timetable and willingness to manage repairs affect what you are comfortable taking on. Tell me about your plans so we can discuss the findings, the uncertainty and the next checks in that context.
