Common building defects in Schofields NSW
Twenty four from a pre-purchase inspection: staining, clearances, cracking, a disconnected downpipe. Sixteen from a lock-up on attached housing: damp proof course, fire rated sealant, pressure flashings, coatings. Twelve from waterproofing, nearly all pinholes. That is the shape of the suburb in miniature, an established resale market beside an attached housing build market.
