Independent inspection to AS 4349.1 by a registered building contractor. What you are buying, read by someone who has built. Report within 24 hours.
A pre-purchase building inspection in Queens Park reads either an original post-war home at sixty to seventy years on reactive clay-loam, or an infill villa or grouped dwelling at a younger age on the same reactive clay-loam. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and in Queens Park the pre-purchase approach is determined by the era: the original stock earns the full sixty-to-seventy-year read on reactive clay with the multi-tenancy maintenance context; the infill stock earns the age read of its own construction era on the reactive ground that both share.
For the original stock, the wet-area condition across multiple tenancies is the primary pre-purchase priority. A 1958 Queens Park home has had its wet areas in continuous use for 67 years across potentially four or five households. The pre-purchase read determines the current condition — whether the waterproofing has failed, how extensively, and what remediation scope and cost that implies before purchase.
For the infill stock, the clay-loam slab behaviour at the current age is the key pre-purchase read: how much seasonal movement has occurred so far and what the crack pattern reveals about the ground beneath the specific lot. For both types, asbestos cement materials in older outbuildings are noted in the report. The report follows within 24 hours.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 determined by the era of the home: original post-war stock at 60 to 70 years on reactive clay-loam with multi-tenancy context, or infill stock at its own age on the same reactive ground.
No, building scope only. The combined inspection covers both in one visit.
The wet-area condition across sixty-plus years of multi-tenancy use. Whether the waterproofing has failed, how extensively, and what remediation scope and cost that implies.
Clay-loam slab behaviour at the current age — how much seasonal movement has occurred and what the crack pattern reveals about the reactive ground beneath the specific lot.
Yes. The reactive clay-loam underlies both the original and infill stock. The seasonal movement applies to both at their respective ages.
Yes in the original stock. Outbuildings and lean-tos from the 1950s and 1960s commonly contain asbestos cement sheeting. We note suspect materials throughout the report.
Yes, often significantly for the older stock. The waterproofing condition at sixty-plus years frequently supports substantial renegotiation.
Yes, particularly for the original stock at sixty-plus years on reactive clay. The combined inspection covers timber pest.
Yes. On stumped original homes, the subfloor bearing on reactive clay is the primary structural pre-purchase read.
