Termite management notices in Leppington NSW

Every new house with a termite management system is supposed to carry a durable notice recording what was installed and when, usually fixed inside the meter box. We recorded it not found at lock-up on one Leppington job and not installed at all at fixing stage on another. It sounds like paperwork and it is not. Without that notice, a pest inspection ten years from now cannot tell whether a system exists, what type it is, or whether its service life has run out, and neither can you when you come to sell.

FAQ

Termite management notices in Leppington NSW: common questions

Can it be issued later?

It can, provided the installer records what they actually did. The risk is that time passes, the contractor moves on and the detail is lost.

Does it matter if I never sell?

It matters at the first pest inspection, which is the point at which somebody needs to know what protection the house has.

Who is responsible for it?

The builder, through the contractor who installed the system. Ask for it before handover rather than after.
