Termites are a major and underestimated risk for Inner West Sydney's older housing stock. Federation terraces, interwar bungalows and timber-framed homes are particularly vulnerable. Inner West Property Inspections provides AS 3660 compliant termite and timber pest inspections using advanced thermal imaging and acoustic detection.
Inner West Sydney's older housing stock — much of it built before chemical termite barriers and concrete slab construction became widespread — is highly susceptible to termite attack. Federation terraces with their timber floor joists, bearers and wall studs, interwar bungalows with subfloor spaces, and unrenovated homes with untreated timber create ideal conditions for termite activity.
Termite damage can cause tens of thousands of dollars in structural repairs and is typically not covered by standard home and contents insurance. A professional AS 3660 compliant termite inspection before purchase is essential.
Standalone termite inspections typically range from $250–$450. Combined building and pest inspections offer better value — call 0492 961 622 for a free quote specific to your property.
A thorough termite inspection of a typical Inner West terrace takes 1–1.5 hours. The written AS 3660 compliant report is delivered within 24 hours.
We explain the extent of the damage, which structural elements are affected, and provide guidance on treatment options and likely repair costs — so you can make an informed decision about the purchase.
