Buying a home in Morayfield QLD: common questions

What about building a new home in Morayfield?

You can check the work at the handover inspection stage. This inspection looks at the approved drawings, engineering and the NCC. It does not use the AS 4349.1 standard, which is for older homes.

Can I get a handover inspection before the certificate of occupancy?

Yes. You can inspect before the final certificate is issued. This helps identify defects before you sign the final contract with the builder.

Is a timber pest inspection required before I buy?

It is highly recommended. The AS 4349.3 standard is used for these reports. It checks for timber pests like termites that can damage the structure.
