Hi all
need a bit of advice please. We had a building and pest report done by separate companies experienced in their profession... so it would seem... unfortunately between us inspecting the property and us receiving their report ... some things are hugely askew.
The Building report NOR the pest report made no mention of:
+ flue that had fallen through ceiling into toilet exposing a large hole, insulation and most likely asbestos roof that had broken as a result
+ 20cm diameter hole THROUGH timber FLOORBOARD that looks like some insect had or was or may still have been eating through...
+discrepancy between sth/west side of house where rotten fascia boards were visible
Whilst these are huge show stoppers for us. Our issue is that these so called experts didnt even bother to mention the first two obvious defects in their reports, when we believe they should have. We have unfortunately paid for the building report and are yet to pay for the pest report.
As a side note, whilst i am no expert... my fam have been in the building trade for some combined 60+ yrs and have themselves an excellent name in the trade of their expertise.. having been raised literally with that, i like to think i have some understanding around the lingo n terminology to know when we are being screwed over...
as such, we would appreciate some suggestions on where to from here. We honestly feel that almost 900.$ on these reports have been an absolute waste to tell us what we knew!
If anything we have paid that money to know whose professional services we wont be using ever again.
its dissapointing to say the least so far...
Thanks in advance fof your advice
