POST WAR HOME: BUNGLED BRICK REPAIRS

Back
BUILDING & PEST REPORT WAS BRILLIANT: They spotted a number of possible problems under this house. Our Structural Engineer Report found serious problems with brick columns supporting the timber floor and with the perimeter brick base.
We found that this Holland Park house was built on an old filled gully and the ground has been subsiding for decades. And dodgy repairs had also been done bit-by-bit year after year.
The damages are serious and proper repairs require complete replacement of the house footings and brick base & columns.
Our client was the buyer and she was very grateful that she had a report from Forensic Engineers to help with her purchase negotiations.
