What to Look For at an Inspection.<br />
THE LOCATION<br />
Are you close to all the amenities you might need? Is it<br />
zoned residential? Are all utilities connected? Is the area<br />
flood prone? Is there air-traffic noise? What are the local<br />
council's building requirements?<br />
OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY<br />
Check condition of paintwork, roof, gutters,<br />
downpipes, paths, fences and retaining walls. Look<br />
for cracks and signs of damp. Ask about pool or<br />
spa compliance and if extensions were approved.<br />
THE LAND<br />
Is there back-fill, loose boulders or water seepage?<br />
Is there steep grading or dense trees (if you're<br />
considering extensions, you may need an engineer<br />
to assess the block)? Is it free from landslip?<br />
INSIDE THE PROPERTY<br />
Check condition of walls, ceilings (look behind<br />
furniture), windows, doors, fly screens. Test water<br />
pressure, cupboards and appliances. Is the property<br />
insulated? Will your furniture and fridge fit?<br />
