Hey Guys,
Ive owned an investment property for some time now and have recently had the tenants vacate which has given me the opportunity to have a closer look without the tenants belongings in the house.
I had the property inspected by a building inspector to discover major structural damage that has been caused by flooding and/or poor drainage surrounding the unit in the complex. Because of this there has been termite development.
The extent of the damage is serious and a safety issue and i need to know how to best approach the situation.
Should i contact the body corporate first and get advice on proceeding with an insurance claim?
The report provided by the building inspector clearly states that the drainage around the unit is inadequate. The report also states that major defects were evident and require a structural engineer, plumber, carpenter and possibly an electrician.
cheers
