Hey guys,
We moved into our new house a year ago and really enjoyed the place. However there is an apartment building next to us and every week we hear loud noises coming out from their building, along with smokes coming out from their chimney. It gets unbearable when we sometimes stayed at the…[Read more]

Hey guys, I went down to our subfloor yesterday and discovered this little piece among the rubbles:

Just wondering if there might be asbestos in there or not as we’re really worried at the moment. It seem to have a honeycomb/circular shape on top but have mostly worn off.
The previous owner did a renovation to the…[Read more]

Ahh thank you for your reply Jaxon, I’ll definitely have the asbestos part checked.
Although I’m not quite sure what it means in the part of report where it talks about asbestos in switchboard. Those it mean there may be asbestos floating around in there or in any of the components inside?
If so, would it be dangerous for me to touch the…[Read more]

Hey guys,
We purchased our first house last week after searching for a long period. This will be the first time we’ll live in a house as we have always lived in apartments before. So this is both exciting and overwhelming for us.
The house is an old single story from the 1950s, so there may be some issues that needs to be fixed up after m…[Read more]

But what is definitely important for us is the quality of the finished building.
We had a house 8 years ago where it had serious leakage issue in the roof. It was by an owner builder that went bankrupt and we spent a lot of time with the repair work, we’d rather not have this again. Although seeing Beechwood is a much larger company, I’m not sur…[Read more]

Hey guys,
We’re hoping to purchase a property that we found last week. It’s in a very nice suburb that we wish to live in, and the price of the house is really good, something we’ll just be able to afford.
Another big advantage is that the property already have a granny flat built in the back. This will save us heaps of time and effort from…[Read more]

Ithilien replied to the topic Townhouse built over Sewer Main, should we still buy it? in the forum Help Needed! 7 years, 4 months ago
This is the first time we’re buying a property so I’m really not sure what to think of all these. Would you still recommend to purchase this townhouse given the above issues with the sewer pipe (not concrete encased, not inspected etc.)? We’ve been searching for years and this really seem to be a great place for us to live in. But we’re not sur…[Read more]
