I was asked by property investor to undertake a thorough Building and Pest Inspection to a first floor unit in a block of six.
The unit complex was located close to the beach, and a number of defective issues were found during the inspection.
- Cracked asbestos shetting to the roof
- Leaking asbestos gutter
- Insufficient drainage
- Wet rot to decking framing timbers
- Insufficient strength to timber handrails
- Rusted stairs stringer brackets
The defect issues are relevant to the age and close proximity to the water.
Our Building and Pest Inspections usually take 1 to 2 hrs and typically highlight these types of problems. Our inspection reports form a valuable tool to the prospective buyer in making their decision.
