So why is a road worthy report mandatory on an item such as a car that is worth considerably less than a house that could be infested with termites or poor wiring and could fall down or catch on fire and injure the occupants ?? Maybe they shouldn't have road worthies on cars because buyer should beware Wink

Because if the brakes fail on your house, it's not going to plough into a school yard or through a bunch of grannies waiting for a bus....

And anyone who CAN'T spot termite damage BEFORE it gets to the point of the house 'falling down' or ignores the problems with the wiring ( and the smoke detectors, which are now required in ALL houses) in time to get it fixed is probably too stupid to read an inspection report anyway..

the reason. They have roadworthys on used cars
is because morons would buy them unroadworthy and drive them , without considering the fact that the unroadworthy car could harm someone else.

How do you know the house wiring is OK unless it is inspected by a qualified electrician ?? And how do you spot termite damage behind a brick or plaster wall ?

What a load of crap you are talking. In Europe house inspections are mandatory before you offload your rubbish onto somebody else. But of course the reason why they don't have mandatory inspections in Australia is because most old dumps wouldn't pass and that would be a real impediment to the poor old real estate maggots looking to make a quick buck and we can't have that can we Wink

and they might buy termite infested homes and live in those until the roof caves in and injures someone. Somehow the normal duty of care goes out the window when it is property all because it is more important for some parasite to make his pound of flesh out of some gullible buyer Sad

Absolute rubbish.
I got an Archicentre report done for a house once and it says at the
bottom in fine print that a separate inspection needs to be done for termites.
Even a highly skilled architect is not qualified to prove that there is
no termite infestation.

Nail is right.

No, as usual, nails is WRONG...if YOU can't see that the floor is spongy or that the walls move when you shut or open the doors then you're too stupid too notice that you have termites or borers...

AND if you are prepare to spend $500k+ on a house, without getting it tested...then your REALLY are too dumb to tie your own shoes...

The real estate parasites don't give you that option because there is always some other impatient desperado waiting in line to buy the joint without an inspection. The inspection report should be mandatory by law. If the joint is OK then what do they have to lose by getting a report done ?

You are a complete ignoramus gizmo. Termite infestations don't always display obvious symptoms. Pest controllers use special infrared detectors to detect termite nests buried deep within the wood structures. Your average tom dick and harry doesn't have access to this equipment.

Given that termite infestations have become more prevalent why shouldn't it be mandatory for the seller to provide fitness reports to the buyer ?
