About Hollywell
Hollywell sits on a narrow strip of flat ground between the northern Broadwater and the edge of the Coombabah Lakelands conservation area. The housing stock is largely from the 1970s and 80s — low-set fibro and brick homes, walk-up flats and villa clusters popular with retirees and downsizers. At this age, original wet-area waterproofing, roofing and external joinery are at or past end of life, and the proximity to tidal water means salt exposure has worked steadily on roof fixings, window frames and external steelwork since the day they were installed.
The Coombabah Lakelands boundary creates genuine, sustained termite pressure along the western and northern edges of the suburb — the same active conditions we find across in Biggera Waters and Coombabah itself. The flat, low-lying ground means drainage behaviour and subsoil moisture are standard inspection observations on almost every block. On the suburb's significant villa and walk-up flat stock, we inspect to the interior of the lot and the building exterior immediately associated with it — balconies, original wet areas and boundary-wall junctions all earn close attention.
