Inspecting apartments and townhouses in Edmondson Park NSW

Edmondson Park is one of the few suburbs in this corridor with a real unit market rather than a token one: seventeen unit sales in a recent quarter against thirty eight houses, at a median of $750,000. An attached dwelling is not a smaller house. It brings a party wall, which means damp proof course continuity across the junction and fire separation reinstated at every service penetration. It brings control joints that have to run the full height they were designed for, and the Austral records show one that did not. And it brings a boundary between your lot and common property that has to be settled before any defect discussion makes sense.

FAQ

Inspecting apartments and townhouses in Edmondson Park NSW: common questions

Which stage matters most on a townhouse?

Lock-up, because party wall detail, fire separation and control joint continuity are all visible then and never again.

Is an apartment cheaper to inspect?

Generally yes, since there is simply less building to cover. The detail is more particular, so the saving is smaller than the floor area suggests.

Who is responsible for a defect in a party wall?

Typically the body corporate, since a party wall is usually common property. That is exactly why the boundary question comes first.
