BPI Sunshine Coast North provides building and timber pest inspections for buyers and sellers in Burnside. Contact Chris Jacobson to discuss the property, the inspection you need and your proposed timing. Availability, price and scope are confirmed before booking.
Checking the junction between an older home and an extension
For a Burnside house with an extension, make sure both the original building and the added area can be accessed. Changes in floor height, roof lines and wall materials can help identify where different stages of construction meet. Tell us about any known leaks or recurring repairs around those junctions.
The inspection can record visible moisture evidence, cracking and deterioration in accessible areas. It cannot guarantee that concealed connections or waterproofing are sound. Keep invoices and approval documents for the extension available, and ask follow-up questions about any recommendation for further investigation before your purchase deadline.
Your Burnside inspection checklist
- Identify the original and extended sections.
- Ask about leaks near roof and wall junctions.
- Request extension documentation.
Choose the inspection that fits your enquiry
A pre-purchase building and pest inspection helps buyers understand accessible condition. If you are preparing to sell, ask about a pre-sale inspection. The written report records findings, limitations and recommendations within the agreed scope; concealed areas cannot be fully assessed by a non-invasive inspection.
Is an extension covered by the same inspection?
Accessible extensions can form part of the agreed dwelling inspection. Tell us about unusual construction or separate accommodation when requesting a quote.
