Apartment build quality checklist

Eleven checks on how well an apartment building was put together. A few you ask for before the open home. The rest you can see from the footpath, the car park and the corridor.

11 things to check. The builder, the paperwork, and what the building itself shows you.

Tip. Start in the basement car park. Nobody stages it for an open home, and it is where leaks tend to show.

Build quality

This checklist is not an exhaustive guide. It is a starting point to help you think about what to look for. You should make your own enquiries, consider your own circumstances, and seek professional advice (such as a building and pest inspection) before purchasing any property. See our terms of use.
