Do you require a dilapidation inspection?
If you are a home or landowner in Adelaide and are planning to have building work completed on your property, the chances are you require a dilapidation inspection. A dilapidation report created after an inspection analyses and details the condition of roads, footpaths and structures on a neighbouring property prior to any building work being completed.
Why is a dilapidation inspection useful?
After the inspection, a dilapidation report will be created which details the condition of a neighbour's property, such as their outdoor storage building or pathway, and includes photographs of any existing defects in their property. This ensures that if a neighbour makes any claims against you or accuses your building work of causing damage, you have the evidence to prove otherwise.
A dilapidation inspection can, therefore, be considered as essential for anyone who:
- Has had problems with their neighbours being untruthful or uncooperative in the past.
- Doesn't wish to be hit by costly fines and expenses because they cannot prove that they didn’t cause damage.
- Want their building process to be as stress-free and straightforward as possible.
- Wishes for their rights to be protected in all eventualities.
