KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

What the WDO inspection addresses

Start with the exact WDO request. Confirm the qualified provider and scope so the inspection addresses the documentation and accessible evidence relevant to your property.

Requested WDO report

The lender’s or requesting party’s instructions establish which documentation is needed. Our team explains the provider and appointment arrangements before booking.

Visible evidence in accessible areas

The agreed inspection addresses visible evidence of wood-destroying organisms and related damage in accessible areas. Concealed conditions and access limits can affect the findings.

Findings and documentation

The report documents the agreed inspection findings. Any treatment or repair work is a separate service.

A defined inspection and a clear next step

The report documents findings within the agreed WDO scope. Concealed conditions and inaccessible areas can limit the inspection; any treatment or repair work needs a separate arrangement.

WDO inspection and pest treatment are different services. Hidden conditions and inaccessible areas may limit findings. Confirm the qualified provider, scope, and any treatment needs before booking.

MAKE THE NEXT STEP USEFUL

Keep the property’s records together.

Previous inspection and treatment records can add context to a new request.

Keep the request and history together

Clear access to relevant areas and have the lender’s instructions, deadline and any prior treatment or inspection records available. These help match the report to the request.

Plan for specialist advice

If findings call for treatment or further evaluation, the appropriate licensed professional can explain the options and costs.
