out to patch these cracks engaged to investigate and

report on possible structural

issues.

24 Roof At the time of my inspection I

observe that flashings to the roof 

over the laundry area were in

poor condition and in need of 

repair.

In my view a licenced roofer 

should be engaged to check all

roof areas and flashings and

repair damaged or incomplete

flashings to negate the

possibility of water penetration

into the building.

 At the time of my inspection I

observed that a great majority of 

the subfloor framework to the

main dwelling had been renewed

and was in very good condition.

 Areas of the subfloor that had not

been renewed also appeared to

be in good condition.

7.0 Summary/Conclusion

8. Overall the main dwelling on this property was in above average condition for a

property of this age. The majority of the rooms had been renovated to some degree

and were well maintained. The exception to this is the servants quarters and the

and the down stairs study and store room, which in my opinion were in below

average condition. Although I was not able to view all of the subfloor structure due

to limited access I noted that a great majority of the subfloor framework to the main

dwelling had been renewed and was in above average condition. I also noted that a

damp course had been installed to the majority of the main structure and fans were

installed under the ground level floor to assist ventilation.
