Common Defects

What We Look for in Greater Sydney Properties

Based on extensive experience in Greater Sydney and surrounding suburbs, these are the most common issues we find โ€” many invisible to an untrained eye.

Heritage-era homes (Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore)

Victorian terraces, federation bungalows, and Edwardian homes require specialist knowledge to inspect properly. Rising damp, timber pest activity, roof structure movement, and subfloor deterioration are standard findings.

Post-war brick veneer homes (Western Sydney, Hills District)

1950sโ€“1980s brick veneer construction has its own defect profile โ€” wall tie corrosion, cavity moisture, and ageing roof framing are common findings in this building era.

New builds and off-the-plan (all areas)

New homes are not defect-free. Construction defects in framing, waterproofing, and services are common โ€” stage inspections during construction and practical completion inspections before handover are essential.

Strata apartments (city fringe, North Shore, Eastern Suburbs)

Apartment buyers must understand that common area defects become their liability through levies. We inspect individual lots and all accessible common areas.

Knockdown-rebuild sites (all areas)

New constructions on older blocks often encounter unexpected site conditions โ€” contamination, unexpected fill, drainage issues, and boundary disputes that affect construction quality.

Rural residential and acreage (greater Sydney fringe)

Properties on larger blocks have additional inspection considerations โ€” septic systems, private water supplies, outbuildings, and site drainage all require assessment.
