Glenwood was developed mainly through the 1990s, with family homes and townhouses on streets that sit between Bella Vista, Kings Langley and Stanhope Gardens, and plenty of parks and bushland reserves running through the suburb.
With most homes now 25 to 30 years old, our Glenwood inspections often find ageing waterproofing, worn roof sealants and gutters, and termite protection that needs renewing, especially near the reserves. The suburb sits on reactive clay, so cracking and drainage are always checked too. Peter is based nearby in Stanhope Gardens and has over 18 years of experience inspecting homes across Sydney’s north-west.
Every property is different, but these are the issues that come up most often on our Glenwood building and pest inspections.
Homes backing onto parks and bushland reserves carry higher termite risk, especially with mulch, timber sleepers or garden beds against the walls. See our timber pest inspection reports.
Showers and bathrooms in homes 25 or more years old often leak as waterproofing breaks down. We check for moisture, cracked grout and sealant, and tiles that sound hollow.
We check roofs for cracked or slipped tiles and worn pointing, and look at gutters, valleys and downpipes for rust, blockages and overflow.
We look for stepped cracks in brickwork, cornice gaps and doors that stick, and tell you if a structural engineer should take a look.
Some Glenwood streets slope. We check that water drains away from the house, look at retaining walls and check stormwater connections.
We inspect townhouses and villas and flag signs of wider building issues, such as water getting in from common areas. See our strata inspections.
