SCOPE OF WORKS

- This Report is prepared by Archiin and in accordance with Australian Standard 4349.1-2007 Inspection of Buildings Part 1: Pre-purchase

inspections – Residential

Buildings and any other Australian Standards and definitions cited in the Terms and Conditions.

- This Report is prepared on a visual inspection of the condition of the reasonably accessible parts of the property and on the basis of the

prevailing structural, soil and weather conditions at the time of the inspection and does not cover enquiries of councils or other authorities. It is not a certificate of compliance for the property within the requirements of any Act, regulation, ordinance or local bylaw.

- Prolonged periods of wet or dry weather may cause structural changes to the property as described in the “Property Maintenance Issues”. This report is valid for 3 month from date of inspection.

- The Report will not disclose defects in inaccessible areas, defects that are concealed and/or not reasonably visible, defects that may be

apparent in other weather conditions or defects that have not yet arisen.

- The Report does not cover all maintenance items, particularly those such as jamming doors, windows or catches, decorative finishes and

hairline or slight cracks.

This is in accordance with Category 0 and 1 of Appendix C – Australian Standard AS 2870-2011.

- This Report is not a pest inspection. Archiin recommends that a pest inspection be carried out on all properties being considered for

purchase.

Customers wishing to have a full pest inspection should contact Archiin to arrange a separate pest inspection.

- The inspection assumes that the existing use of the property will continue and the Report is prepared on that basis. As such, the inspection

will not assess the fitness of the property for any other intended purpose.

- We advise you to verify any proposed change in use with the relevant authorities.

If you are intending to purchase the property, and in consideration of the limitations of a visual inspection, as well as budgeting for the

anticipated cost of the recommended repairs and maintenance, Archiin recommends budgeting a further 5% of the value of the property, to provide a "safety net" against unexpected costs that may arise over the first five years of ownership and that this be taken into account when establishing a purchase price. The amount of this safety net is a rough guide for properties generally and not specific to your property.
