What is a Telco Cable Search?
The Telco Cable Search will identify if copper or Optic Fibre telecommunication cables run underneath a property. It will also identify any non standard installation which may become a problem for the buyer. Cables passing through a property can pose some serious problems for the property owner or developer if damaged. A search of all known communication carriers is conducted for properties within Australia. The search will enable the property buyer to make an informed decision on their purchase.
