Maybe I put the wrong key words??? Most companies that I called ,they only do the standard house inspection. I just signed an contract to buy a property in Brisbane, and I have done the house inspection, the inspector said everything is okay but just a few minor repairing services needed. Before me there was another buyer, who also signed for this house, but eventually contract cancelled. I heard from my angent saying that previous buyer also done the house inspection but he cancelled because his inspection found there were some grout cracking between tiles on the bathroom floor, and his inspector suggested to have a structure engineer to do an structural inspection as well. and we all believe thats why the previous buyer cancel the contract later. However, my inspector said the grout cracking is just normal cracking on the surface, it's not very serious. However, as it is a around 1M property, so I just want to be careful about that. And I would feel safe if I also have a structural engineer to do this job . Anyone could recommend one to me or tell me where can I find it? use what keys word to search the infomation? Many thanks.
