For starters, the floor joists were in such a rotten state they
were on the verge of collapse. It would've only taken the addition of some heavy furniture in the
rooms above to trigger a potential catastrophe. You can only see one joist in this photo but there
were many more in an even worse state than this one. |

Out the back of the property, I found that the decking was completely rotten. I also discovered that the bulk of this rotten decking was propped up by just four small bricks with a single vertical timber pile precariously mounted on top! |
 |
When I crawled under the house to check the extent of the floor joist problems, I also found that one of the floor-supports had been excavated around, causing it to lean dangerously. |

What you've just read amounts to less than half of the building problems and issues I uncovered in this home. I can ALSO tell you that it would've taken at least 3 months and as much as $45,000 to have this property up to acceptable standards again! Here's the real irony though... The young professional couple who'd (luckily) commissioned me to inspect this rather stunning looking Auckland property BEFORE they went unconditional, told me afterwards that... ... the only thing
they'd initially thought wrong with the house was that the kitchen was too small to allow them to
properly entertain their future guests! Call Us Now 0272 800 007 |
