Ahh thank you for your reply Jaxon, I’ll definitely have the asbestos part checked.
Although I’m not quite sure what it means in the part of report where it talks about asbestos in switchboard. Those it mean there may be asbestos floating around in there or in any of the components inside?
If so, would it be dangerous for me to touch the switchboard for when we wish to turn off/restart the power?
But what is definitely important for us is the quality of the finished building.
We had a house 8 years ago where it had serious leakage issue in the roof. It was by an owner builder that went bankrupt and we spent a lot of time with the repair work, we’d rather not have this again. Although seeing Beechwood is a much larger company, I’m not sure how much it applies in this instance.
Does anyone who have engaged with those guys before have any advice? How is the quality of their finished building? Are there any issues such as leakage or defects? And if so how hard was it to get these fixed?
I’m not sure if I’m worrying too much, but this is a serious decision for us to take with regard to the home purchase. It’s a great financial commitment and we’ll be living in there for many years after all.
Anyway sorry for the long post, but we’re quite lost on this atm and hope for some genuine advice. Sincerely appreciate any help that can be given!
Best Regards,
IthilienThis is the first time we’re buying a property so I’m really not sure what to think of all these. Would you still recommend to purchase this townhouse given the above issues with the sewer pipe (not concrete encased, not inspected etc.)? We’ve been searching for years and this really seem to be a great place for us to live in. But we’re not sure how much detriment or inconvenience this sewer main will cause for us in the future. Although the townhouse is built in the 1950s, we do hope to stay here for a very long time (several decades).
We’ve been reading through Sydney Water’s Technical Guidelines regarding this for the past couple of days:

Would sincerely be thankful if someone who have knowledge in this area can help us out.
Once again thank you so much for reading through this, really cannot express how much we appreciate your help on this matter. It really means a lot to us and we’re really grateful for your comments!
Cheers and best wishes!
