Inspecting Marsden Park's first resales
Too young for decay, old enough for shortcuts to surface.
In short: What to look for in a suburb that started building in 2013.
What you are buying
Marsden Park resale stock is young, largely first resales from the 2013 wave onward.
What shows up
Handover shortcuts that have had a decade to reveal themselves: sealant gone, flashings never right, wet areas leaking slowly.
The owner factor
Ten years is long enough for a first owner to add a deck, a pergola or a bathroom, with or without approval.
Where we look
The roof space where it is safe to enter, wet areas, masonry cracking measured to the standard, and drainage around the site.
What this page lacks
Marsden Park pre-purchase photography, because our completed jobs here are new construction, which we say rather than borrow.
