The tiles are stuck down on dabs of adhesive rather than a full bed. They sound hollow when tapped and are prone to cracking. Water can also sit in the voids beneath the tiles.
Electrical, gas and plumbing systems are not tested. Appliances and air conditioning are not commissioned, and nothing is dismantled or cut open. Switchboards and wiring must be inspected by a licensed electrician. We cannot see inside the walls or behind the fittings.
