Thinking of Buying in New Town?

New Town is a popular, established suburb close to Hobart, with a large number of older homes and properties that have undergone varying levels of renovation.
While many homes appear solid, I regularly see issues that are not obvious during open inspections.
Common issues in New Town include:
• Subfloor moisture and ventilation problems in older homes
• Movement-related cracking in brickwork and plaster
• Roofing, flashing, and guttering defects
• Outdated wiring or switchboard concerns
• Bathroom waterproofing issues, especially in renovated homes
• Timber decay or weathering due to age and maintenance
A proper building inspection helps uncover these issues before you commit.

Local Building Knowledge in New Town

New Town has a high concentration of older homes, many of which have been renovated or extended over time.
It’s common to see a mix of original construction and newer additions, which can sometimes lead to inconsistencies in workmanship, structure, or compliance.
In this area, I frequently identify:
• Settlement cracking in older masonry structures
• Subfloor dampness and inadequate ventilation
• Roofing issues on ageing properties
• Renovation work that may not meet current standards
• Decks, extensions, or additions requiring closer assessment
• General wear and deterioration associated with older homes
Each inspection is carried out with these local factors in mind.
