Hi Everyone,
We are due to settle on a unit in Parramatta in early November and one thing which is needed is new carpets/flooring. Presently, there is carpet throughout the entire unit apart from the bathroom and kitchen. Ideally i would like to put floorboards down in the living areas, and carpet the bedrooms.
It is a ground floor unit, with the underground garage below.
Having never lived in a unit, and reading elsewhere about the trasmission of noises where floorboards are installed, should noise be a problem noting there is no one else below? Will sound be transmitted to upstairs?
I haven't seen anything in the by-laws about them being prohibited, but would rather avoid getting off to a bad start with neighbours, or having to field complaints from the property manager about complaints.
Does anyone have experience?
Thanks
