Building and Pest Inspection Holland Park

Building and Pest Inspections in Holland Park

 

Based on Brisbane’s southside, Trimax Building Inspections is conveniently located to provide professional building and pest inspections in Holland Park and surrounding areas like Mt Gravatt, Camp Hill and Coorparoo.

Convenient Public Transport

Just over a hundred years ago, Holland Park was transitioning from a semi-rural area to a residential community, thanks to the extension of the Logan Road tramline in 1926.

While Brisbane’s trams were sadly decommissioned in 1969, you can still catch a glimpse of this Holland Park heritage with a tram shelter that still stands on Logan Road outbound, near C.B. Mott Park and the corner of Abbosleigh Street.

Holland Park remains a tightly held suburb, largely due to being less than 10km from the Brisbane CBD. The area is well served by bus and metro services, with the Holland Park West station on the south-eastern busway; while drivers also have easy access to the Pacific Motorway and South East Freeway.

Green Space in Holland Park

 

Just like its namesake – Holland Park in London – Brisbane’s version is also known for some beautiful parks and green spaces, including:

    • A playground and picnic area at C.B. Mott Park;
    • Glindemann Park along Logan Road, which features colourful seasonal flower displays as well as a small skate park ideal for children and beginners;
    • Joachim Street Park, where the first public pickleball courts in Brisbane were recently installed;
    • Majestic Park in nearby Coorparoo, which has a popular fairytale / dragon-themed playground.

And to the east in nearby Camp Hill, you’ll find the bushland setting and walking tracks of Whites Hill Reserve, which also hosts the Holland Park Hawks Football Club.

Housing Stock in Holland Park

One of Holland Park’s attractions is its diverse housing stock. You’ll find everything from regal Queenslanders to modest post-war homes, weatherboard high sets and low set brick and tiles, as well as units and townhouses.

Many older homes have been renovated and/or extended. While these improvements can increase value and appeal, its worth remembering that not all work is completed to a professional standard. We regularly uncover issues such as:

    • Non-compliant alterations
    • Poor waterproofing
    • Incomplete repairs
    • Safety concerns

Holland Park is a suburb in renewal, with many choosing to knock down and rebuild. As a result you’ll see a growing number of modern homes; but even new builds can have their problems, so a building and pest inspection is always a worthwhile investment when purchasing a property.

Common Property Defects in Holland Park

Having inspected properties across Brisbane’s southside for many years, we’re familiar with the most common property defects. In Holland Park, we’ve found that these tend to be:

    • Termite Issues – Like many leafy Brisbane suburbs, Holland Park provides ideal conditions for white ants and we often find evidence of this when conducting building and pest inspections in this neighbourhood.
    • Timber Damage – Older Queenslanders and timber homes can be particularly vulnerable to moisture, with rotten window frames, deteriorated decks, damaged balustrades and fungal decay in exposed timber.
