What a Strata Termite Report Covers

A strata termite report is a written record of a licensed technician’s termite inspection of your scheme, showing what was found, where, and what we recommend doing about it. For Castle Hill schemes, it gives committees, owners and buyers a clear, documented picture of termite risk.

What goes into the report

We inspect the common property and, where access is arranged, individual lots. The report records any live activity, past damage or conditions that favour termites, such as moisture or timber in contact with soil.

Photos sit alongside each finding so strata managers can see exactly what we saw and where. We explain the technical points in plain language, so the report is easy to act on and easy to file.

Why the paper trail matters

Termite history can show up in pre-purchase building reports and condition reports. A documented inspection trail supports due diligence for buyers, helps reduce negotiation risk and future liability claims, and gives insurers and maintenance planners something solid to work from.

A report with photos and clear notes means nobody is guessing later. Committees know what was found, and owners know what was done about it.

Common Property Areas We Inspect

Our licensed technicians inspect every shared part of the scheme and record what they find. Here is what we check and what you receive.

Gardens and Landscaping

We check timber edging, sleepers, tree stumps, mulch beds and fence lines where termites often start.

Basements and Car Parks

We inspect walls, columns, storage cages and any timber fixtures in these damp, low-light areas.

External Walls and Stairwells

We look for mud tubes, soft or hollow-sounding timber, and moisture around joins, frames and balustrades.

Roof Spaces and Guttering

We check accessible roof voids, eaves and downpipes, since leaks and damp timber attract termites.

Photos and Findings

Each area is documented with photos and plain-language notes, so strata managers can file a consistent record.

Recommendations

The report sets out suggested next steps, such as treatment or monitoring, so committees and owners know what to action.

Who Pays: Strata or Owner?

The strata scheme pays for termite work in common property, funded through levies. The owner pays when activity is found inside their own lot. Knowing which side of that line a problem sits on keeps costs moving and avoids disputes.

Common property: the strata scheme

Gardens, basements, car parks, external walls, stairwells, roof spaces and guttering are common property. Inspections and treatments here are the scheme’s responsibility, paid from levies.

Strata fees usually cover general maintenance but rarely include specialised termite work. Check your strata management agreement to see whether pest control is included.

Inside the lot: the owner

When termites appear in interior walls, skirting, kitchens, bathrooms or a private balcony, the owner arranges and pays for treatment. This stays true even when the scheme covers common area inspections.

Misjudging where the activity sits is a common cause of cost disputes and delays, so a clear written finding helps everyone.

When termites cross the boundary

If termites spread from common property into a lot, liability can become complicated. Who pays often depends on where the activity started and how far it has travelled.

A professional assessment can help work that out. We explain what we find in plain language so committees and owners can agree on next steps.

Acting early

Why Strata Schemes Should Act Early

NSW law does not require termite protection for strata schemes, so the decision sits with committees and strata managers. Industry experts strongly recommend it, because a small routine cost is far easier to plan for than emergency work after damage appears.

Annual inspections

A yearly inspection by a licensed technician catches activity while it is still manageable. Our $0 call-out fee means the only cost to the scheme is any treatment you choose to go ahead with.

Barrier treatments and monitoring

Preventative barriers around building perimeters, plus monitoring in higher-risk common property areas, give your scheme ongoing protection rather than a one-off fix.

Records that settle disputes

A documented trail of inspections and treatments helps committees show they acted responsibly. It also reduces disagreements between owners about who pays and when problems began.

Strata Termite Report FAQs

How often should a strata scheme have a termite inspection?

We recommend a professional termite inspection at least once a year. Termites work out of sight, so regular checks of common property catch activity before it turns into costly repairs. Schemes with a history of activity, or with timber, gardens and moisture near the building, may benefit from more frequent monitoring.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. We charge a $0 call-out fee and the on-site inspection is free. If treatment is needed, we quote fixed-value pricing, so you know the cost before any work starts.

How does the report help with a sale or purchase?

A written report gives buyers, sellers and agents a documented inspection trail. Pest history can appear in pre-purchase building reports, so having dated records on file supports due diligence and can reduce negotiation risk.

What happens if you find termites?

We explain what we found and where, in plain language, then recommend a treatment plan. Outcomes depend on how severe the infestation is, and follow-up inspections matter. Our work is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
