Minor defects are described as “A defect, other than a major defect”.
The overall extent of minor defects is described within the report. This includes minor blemishes, corrosion, weathering, paint deterioration, wall dents due to physical damage and the like. It is expected that defects of this type would be rectified as part of the normal ongoing property maintenance. Paint deterioration may appear cheap to fix but if you have to paint the entire weatherboard dwelling then you will need $15,000 plus depending on the size. See below some photos of maintenance defects/issues found during some of our recent house inspections
