FAQ

Pre-Purchase Building Inspections in Marsden Park: common questions

Why is this page text only?

Our completed Marsden Park jobs are new construction.

Is there value in inspecting a nearly new house?

Yes. A decade is enough for handover shortcuts to surface and for a first owner to add a deck, a pergola or a bathroom with or without approval.

Which items are excluded?

Nothing is switched on, no line is put under pressure, no appliance is run, nothing is dismantled and no engineering is signed off. Timber pest work stands apart under AS 4349.3.
