Protect your property before neighbouring construction, excavation or demolition begins. Inner West Property Inspections provides certified, court-admissible dilapidation reports across Inner West Sydney — documenting existing conditions with detailed photographic evidence, delivered within 24–48 hours.
A dilapidation report is a detailed record of a property's existing condition — including pre-existing cracks, damage and defects — made before nearby construction, excavation, demolition or infrastructure works begin. It provides legal-grade documentation that protects property owners from false damage claims and preserves evidence if disputes arise.
In Inner West Sydney, where construction activity is intensive and properties sit cheek-by-jowl, dilapidation reports are essential. Excavation for a new basement, demolition of a neighbouring terrace, or tunnelling for infrastructure works can all cause vibration, settlement and structural stress to nearby properties.
Typically the developer or builder undertaking construction. However, neighbouring property owners can also commission their own independent report for additional protection.
Ideally at least a week before construction commencement. We can accommodate urgent requests within 24–48 hours. The report must be completed before any works begin to be legally effective.
