Pre-handover inspection completed

We had a pre-handover inspection last week, along with an independent inspection. Most of the faults are minor. Examples include corrosion on some door furniture (requiring replacement), the laundry tub needs to be replaced, some brickwork and roof tile fixes, paint imperfections and so on.

The inspection from Tyrrell's showed up a lot of internal paint imperfections but didn't address any external faults. Our independent inspection report was used to point out things Tyrrells missed plus the external faults.

Here are some photos of some of the faults with sticky notes indicating the area that needs to be rectified:

Paint imperfections and door not sliding correctly


Sideways view of fridge space with leaking water point and a couple of marks on the wall.

Chipped render above the window. This fault was not found by any inspectors.


Tiles not complete. Apparently, this defect was already due to be fixed during a "roof service" EB always do before handover.

Here are some more positive pictures:


Front elevation. The pergola and fascia has been painted Jasper and the render colour (Wattyl Slate) is now complete (though hard to tell with the shade). Our landscaper will be coating the brick piers to the left of the front door and right of the windows in stack stone:

The kitchen with the glass splashback. The far powerpoint still needs to be screwed in (the electrician was probably fishing the cooktop powerpoint just under the bench).


The fireplace - the feature wall colour is Dulux Capsicum Red
