FAQ

Defect Investigation Reports in Marsden Park: common questions

In what way is it unlike a defect report?

A defect report runs wide across a property listing what is there. An investigation isolates one failure and works out the cause.

Will the tribunal accept it?

We write it to be usable, but the tribunal wants a report drawn to NCAT Procedural Direction 3, which is a document we prepare on its own.
