Dodgy Canberra Report

Recently we got a building report provided by the sellers to us prior to purchase of a property  in Isaacs. The report provided was dodgy, generalized ,full of disclaimers, and  lacked details.  In our opinion, it was a useless document. We are required to pay for this report by current ACT law , if we decide to buy the property.

On advise from our Solicitor , we asked Surety Property to provide an independent report on the condition of the property. On behalf of Surety Property, Mr Brenden Trevaskis promptly carried out inspection on 17 th June 2014 and gave us a detailed report on 18th June 2014.

The report provided identified serious problems with the fence, roof, gutter, dampness, water leaks, defective drainage, wall cracks, damaged air conditioning duct insulation etc. The report greatly helped us in negotiating additional price reduction to rectify the defects noted.

We wish to express  our sincere appreciation for a excellent report provided by the Company. The Building Consultant was prompt ,thorough and described the issues in detail with photographs to identify the problems.

“We recently had a buyer’s building survey done by Bruce and just wanted to express our thanks on his professionalism and great work.  The report was very thorough and had picked out on defects that would have been costly to repair and not mentioned at all in the seller’s report. We have now worked out a half way figure with the vendor and that saved us a couple of thousands of dollars.  

So thanks again and we will no doubt highly recommend Surety to our friends/colleagues after this.”

“I met with Brendan on-site for a verbal debrief, and he was great – easy to speak with, and he was great at explaining things to me in a non-technical way. He’s given us a couple of things to think about, but that’s exactly what you guys are there to do.“
