IPI was conducting a routine Pre-Purchase inspection for a Melbourne based property investment syndicate. During the inspection the inspector noted the springy floors throughout every room. The truth was out when the inspector gained access to the under floor space.

The owner builder selling his property, in an effort to save on costs used undersized floor framing and tried to stabalise the resulting bouncy floors by propping the floor with a series of sticks. Needless to say the contract was cancelled due to the floors being structurally unsound

Cost of inspection $250
