• The apartment in the building is rented under an open-ended tenancy agreement

• The building has undergone two major refurbishments: 1982 (structures, drainage) and 1998 (HVAC and surface refurbishments)

• A condition inspection was carried out on 17/12/2021

• Anyone taking part in the auction must review the attached condition inspection report before participating

• Key findings and repair needs from the inspection:

  • Basement and ground floor:

    • Ground moisture was observed in the lower parts of the basement walls, which is typical for buildings of this era. The moisture does not currently require action, but the intended use of the spaces affects possible repairs.

    • The ground floor structure (double slab) is a risk structure, and its condition is recommended to be verified by further investigation.

  • Drainage and rainwater system:

    • The drainage system has exceeded its technical service life, and its operation has not been checked for years. It is recommended to inspect the drains by camera and prepare for possible replacement.

    • Some yard drains were frozen, so their condition should be checked when conditions allow.

  • External cladding and facades:

    • The external cladding shows peeling paint and individual decay damage. Repainting and, if necessary, local repairs are recommended.

    • Facade ventilation is insufficient, which increases the risk of moisture damage.

  • Windows and doors:

    • Moisture marks and timber damage were observed around the windows. Extensive maintenance treatment, sealing of drip edges and possible replacement are recommended.

    • Door threshold flashings are missing, leaving the structures exposed to moisture.

  • Roof and loft:

    • The roof covering has peeling coating, the seams in the sheet metal need sealing, and fastening nails are loosening. Renewal of the coating and repairs to fixings are recommended.

    • Loft ventilation is insufficient, and there are tightness issues at penetrations in the underlay. Improved ventilation and sealing of penetrations are recommended.

  • Washroom, sauna and bathroom:

    • The structures of the wet rooms have reached the end of their technical service life. Moisture was detected in the washroom floor, hollow-sounding tiles and darkened grout joints were found. Renovation of the spaces and inspection of the substructures are recommended.

    • There is a fibre cement board above the sauna stove, which may contain asbestos.

  • HVAC:

    • Ventilation ducts are recommended to be cleaned and adjusted. The fans in the ventilation units have exceeded their technical service life.

    • No visible damage was observed in the domestic water system or drains, but the cast-iron drains are nearing the end of their technical service life. Camera inspection of the drains is recommended.

    • Water temperature is below the recommended level; adjustment is recommended.

  • Electrical system:

    • Electrical installations have been extensively renewed, but any original wiring should be taken into account in future renovations.

  • Other observations:

    • Mouse droppings were found in one toilet room.

    • There was moisture on the floor of the technical room near the water meter; repair is recommended.

    • Moisture marks were found in the cold room structures; dismantling the structures is recommended if the space is not in use.

  Risk structures and special notes:

  • The double-slab structure and the unventilated timber-framed external wall are risk structures, and their condition should be verified by opening up the structure.

  • Asbestos may be present in the fibre cement ducts and the sauna fireproof board.

  Summary: According to the report, the building has several risks and repair needs arising from age and construction method. The most significant repair and maintenance measures relate to the external cladding, windows and roof, inspection of drainage and drains, and renovation of the wet rooms. In addition, further investigations of several structures and systems are recommended, together with preparedness for more extensive repairs in the future.
