最近看了套房子，中介提供的房屋inspection report的结论是below average。觉得心里没底，尤其是关于白蚁，subfloor和墙体裂缝的问题。我把具体有问题的地方贴上来，希望各位能帮我看看这些是不是大问题，谢谢！
1.02 Walls
Laundry
Damage
Fibrous plaster / plasterboard / asbestos cement (assumed to wet rooms) on timber stud frame. Condition: No significant defect evident at time of inspection.
Note: Some of the joints to the walls in the laundry have cracked and should be taped and re-set as required prior to repainting.
Recommend the cracked joints to the walls in the laundry be taped and re-set as required prior to repainting.
1.05 Metal-Framed Windows
(i) Steel - casement / fixed. Condition: Fair to Moderate.
Note:
a) The majority of the windows are old/original and have deteriorated as would be expected due to their age. Old windows require ongoing maintenance and repair if they are to be retained.
b) Some window hardware is damaged and requires repair or replacement (such as the broken handle to the window lock in bedroom 3).
c) The operation of all windows was not tested.
d) Several windows were partly obscured by blinds, curtains, furnishings etc.
(ii) Aluminium framed bi-fold windows to kitchen.
Condition: No significant defect evident at time of inspection.
(iii) Fixed glass bricks to bathroom. Condition: No significant defect evident at time of inspection.
GENERAL COMMENT: All windows and fixed glass panels should be checked by a glazier and any glazing that is found not to comply with the relevant Australian Standards be replaced with approved safety glass.
Recommend:
(i) Maintenance/repairs be carried out as required to the old original steel framed windows.
(ii) All windows and fixed glass panels be checked by a glazier and any glazing that is found not to comply       with       the       relevant Australian Standards be replaced with approved safety glass.
(d) Tiles
Laundry
Installation (including omissions)
There are no splashback tiles above the tub and adjacent to the washing machine taps, which should be installed by a licensed floor and wall tiler to prevent any potential moisture damage occurring to the wall.
Recommend splashback tiles be fixed to the wall above and adjacent to the tub and washing machine taps and the joint between the tiles and bench top be sealed with a mould resistant flexible sealant.
1.11 Electrical Installation
The old timber meter box which houses the electrical board is attached to the right side external wall of the residence. RCD protection (safety switch) appears to have been installed in the electrical board, however it should be checked by a licensed electrician to ensure
Recommend all electrical wiring, the       electrical       board,       lights, switches, power outlets, safety switch,       smoke       alarm       and appliances be checked by a licensed electrician which is outside the scope of this inspection.
it has been properly installed and the correct circuits are protected.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All electrical wiring, the electrical board, lights, switches, power outlets, safety switch, appliances and any smoke alarms need to be checked by a licensed electrician. The checking of any electrical item is outside the scope of this report.
2.01 Walls
Front of Residence, Sides of Residence
Damage, Structural Defect
Brick veneer external walls. Condition: Fair to Poor.
Note: Cracking of the brick walls was evident in several locations, particularly above and below a number of the windows, particularly at the front, with the most significant cracking (and associated lateral shift of the brickwork) being between the master bedroom window and the front right corner of the residence (refer to attached photographs). Stepped cracking at the right side towards the front of the dwelling was also noted, which combined with the abovementioned significant cracking at the front near the corner indicates potential subsidence has occurred at the front corner of the building. There was insufficient information available regarding the cause, significance and consequences of the cracking/movement and therefore the opinion of a structural engineer is required.
Recommend a structural engineer be engaged to inspect and report upon the cracks and movement of the brick external walls as there was       insufficient       information available to properly assess the cause,       significance       and consequences of same.
5.01 Timber Floors
Sub-floor Area
Damage, Installation (including omissions)
Conventional bearer and joist construction with tongue and groove timber floorboards. Condition: Fair to Moderate.
Note:-
The following comments are made regarding the defects identified at the time of the sub-floor area inspection:
a) Sub-floor ventilation is inadequate at the front as there are no vents in the front external wall below floor level. Ventilation should be upgraded by installing supplementary mechanical ventilation such as electric or solar fans to ensure there is adequate air circulation and cross ventilation particularly at the front of the underfloor area.
b) Surface cracking of the ground was evident in a number of areas indicating potential reactive clay, which may have caused or contributed to the cracking and movement of the external walls. Minor movement of some foundation piers was noted, however the extent of movement does not justify remedial work at this time.
c) An electrical cable connected to a junction box was noted draped on the ground towards the rear section of the sub-floor area, which is not desirable and could constitute a potential safety hazard. A licensed electrician should be engaged to check the electrical wiring generally including all wiring in the sub-floor area and to carry out any necessary upgrading/remedial work to ensure the wiring is safe.
d) Localised termite scarring of a floor joist and termite workings to the underside of an adjacent bottom wall plate were evident near the front entry. Further investigation should be carried out by a licensed builder to establish if there is any structural termite damage concealed in inaccessible areas of the residence.
wiring generally including all wiring in the sub-floor area and carry       out       any       necessary upgrading/remedial work to ensure the wiring is safe.
Recommend:
(i) A licensed builder be engaged to:
a) Upgrade sub-floor ventilation where required.
b) Carry out further investigation to establish if there is any structural       termite       damage concealed in inaccessible areas of the residence.
(ii) A licensed electrician be engaged to check the electrical
7.01 Masonry Walls
Front of Residence, Sides of Residence
Structural Defect:-
Cracking of the brick walls was evident       in       several       locations, particularly above and below a number of the windows with the most significant cracking (and associated lateral shift of the brickwork) being between the master bedroom window and the front right corner of the residence. Stepped cracking at the right side towards the front of the building was also noted which combined with the abovementioned significant cracking at the front near the corner indicates potential subsidence has occurred at the front corner of the building.
There was insufficient information available regarding the cause, significance and consequences of the       cracking/movement and therefore the opinion of a structural engineer is required.
Recommend a structural engineer be engaged to inspect and report upon the cracks and movement to the brick external walls.
