What should you be looking for when you inspect?
Firstly, walk around the property to see if you can see any physical defects. Look for any structural problems such as cracked or leaning walls, rotten or damaged timber, evidence of termites in both the structure and gardens.
Ensure you inspect the wiring and plumbing of the property. This particular applies to older properties where traditional methods of construction have been used and repairs can be rather difficult.
If you are serious about a particular property, conducting a building inspection is highly recommended. This can be included in the contract of sale.
Lastly, use your common sense when inspecting the property and ask the owner any questions you may have.
