Questions from Coorparoo buyers
Do you inspect older brick units in Coorparoo?
Yes. We focus on the unit, balconies, wet areas and accessible common property, and suggest what to check in the body corporate records.
Will you tell me if there is asbestos?
We note materials that may contain asbestos, which is common in homes built before 1990. Confirming it needs testing by a licensed asbestos assessor.
