Don’t buy Termites

It’s hard not to get caught up in the moment when you find your dream home. You’ve already moved in and can imagine the family BBQ’s, the parties with friends and after watching one to many series of The Block you’re already making plans to renovate this room or that, but it is at this point that it’s a great idea to step back, take off those rose tinted glasses and make damn sure you’re not buying more than you bargained for. Termites can be a serious hidden problem just waiting for an unsuspecting buyer. In South Australia one in five homes will have these house predators lurking in the yard just metre’s from the home, waiting to strike at any moment and even more scary, one out of three homes will suffer serious damage from termite attack.

On average termites causes 3 million dollars’ worth of damage to Australian homes each year and did you know, statistically you’re more likely to suffer damage from termites than:

• Be in a plane crash – 1 in 11 million
• Be hit by a lighting strike 1 in 2 million
• Be eaten by a shark 1 in 11.5 million
• Winning lotto 1 in 8 million

So it just makes sense when investing large amounts of money into your dream family home to at least take the first step to make sure it’s as good as it looks on the inside as the outside.
