Property types we inspect in Lilyfield

Each type carries its own inspection risks, so our assessment is matched to the construction style, age and site conditions of the specific property rather than applied as a generic checklist.
Local conditions that shape an inspection here
The ground beneath much of Lilyfield is Transition between sandstone and shale near the Bays, with some steep falls toward the water. Damp subfloors with poor cross-flow ventilation, deteriorated external timbers, and roof-line defects at additions are the standout risks. We factor these local conditions into how we read movement, moisture and drainage on the day.
This part of Lilyfield falls within the Inner West Council area (postcode 2040), which is worth keeping in mind for heritage controls and approval records when you research a property.
