Building & Pest Inspections in Banora Point

Banora Point climbs above the Tweed River flood plain on a long hillside between the QLD border and the open water of the Cobaki Broadwater. Most of the suburb's established housing dates from the 1970s through the 90s — brick-and-tile homes on standard residential lots, with a substantial stock of villas, townhouses and retirement-living units across the flatter sections near the Leisure Drive precinct. On the older houses, the recurring items are original wet-area waterproofing at or past its designed service life, first-generation roofing and the decades of garden growth that has gradually worked its way over slab edges and weep holes. CYTE holds both QLD and NSW licences, so buyers on either side of the border receive the same inspection, the same inspector and the same-day written report.

The lower streets of Banora Point run close to the Cobaki Broadwater, and the flat, tidally influenced ground there carries persistent subsoil moisture — drainage behaviour and the condition of slab edges and footings on water-adjacent blocks are methodical inspection elements on those streets. Across the hillside, mature vegetation is the constant: long-established trees, garden beds and old landscaping timbers create the conducive termite conditions we find consistently in the Northern NSW border suburbs. On the villa and unit stock — a significant part of the Banora Point market — we inspect to the interior of the lot and the building exterior immediately associated with it, with balconies, original wet areas and boundary-wall junctions earning close attention alongside the written photo report delivered the same day.

Every Banora Point inspection is a combined building and timber pest assessment to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, carried out under a pre-inspection agreement, with the written photo report in your inbox the same day. See our services or the FAQs for the full picture.
