In short: What to check on a property in a suburb that is part of the Yugarabul country.

Rural blocks

Most houses in Greenbank sit on larger land sizes than city blocks. This offers space but also requires more garden upkeep.

Local wildlife

Wildlife like wallabies, koalas, possums and snakes use the area's watercourses and forest patches. Inspectors look for entry points and signs of activity.

Pre-purchase inspections

We check fences for wallaby damage, roof cavities for nesting birds and the subfloor for pests.

The standard

AS 4349.1 covers the visual inspection of accessible parts of an existing home.
