A Property Dilapidation Report helps identify any existing structural problems, such as foundation cracks, subsidence, or moisture damage. This form of building inspection provides a clear record of the property's condition before any work begins. It is especially important before structure demolitions or major construction projects, ensuring accountability and preventing disputes over property damage.
The report provides a detailed evaluation of the property's condition, allowing the buyer to assess whether the asking price reflects the true value of the property. It ensures that the buyer is not overpaying for a property with hidden issues. This information benefits both the property owner and potential buyers by clarifying the real condition of the building and surrounding structures, helping everyone make informed decisions with confidence.
The Property Dilapidation Report ensures that the property complies with local regulations and building codes. It may highlight any non-compliance issues, helping buyers avoid legal disputes or costly post-purchase modifications. This report becomes particularly valuable before construction or demolition work, as it documents the property's condition and safeguards against potential claims of damage from neighbouring construction activities.
A dilapidation report is a written record of the condition of your property before any nearby construction or excavation work starts. It helps show what parts of your home or building were already damaged, so you can prove if any new damage happens later because of the nearby work.
This type of report is often done when there’s roadwork, digging, or building happening next to your home or business. It protects you by giving proper evidence in case cracks, damage, or movement appear during or after those works.
An experienced inspector will come out to your property and check both the inside and outside areas. They’ll look at walls, floors, ceilings, driveways, fences, and other parts of the structure. As part of the pre-construction report or Brisbane dilapidation report, the inspector takes photos, writes notes, and includes diagrams to show the condition of everything clearly. They’ll also provide a detailed report, pointing out any spots that are more likely to be affected by the upcoming work.
If damage occurs during nearby works, a second inspection can be arranged for your adjoining property. This report serves as vital evidence by comparing the existing condition before and after construction, helping you take action or make a claim if necessary.
In short, a dilapidation report is a smart way to protect your property. It gives peace of mind, saves money, and helps avoid arguments with builders or neighbours later on.
Cracks in the walls can be a sign of underlying structural issues, such as settling foundations or shifting soil. During our assessment, we carefully examine the walls, paying attention to the size, pattern, and location of the cracks. Cracks that are larger than 5mm or appear to be spreading may indicate more serious problems.
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath a building starts to shift or settle unevenly. This can cause significant damage to the property, including foundation cracks, uneven floors, etc. Our Dilapidation report thoroughly checks for signs of subsidence, such as soil movement or structural distortions.
