Hello everyone, this is Sam from Prime Property Buyers. I’m a buyer’s agent and I help property buyers to save time and money when buying their next property. In this video, I’m going to talk about things you should check when doing a home inspection to buy your next home in Australia. Please note that the content in this video is in general nature only and you must always seek professional advice when making any decision related to property.
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your life, and it’s important to make sure you’re making the right choice. Here are some key things to look out for during the inspection process.
Firstly, take note of any visible structural damage. Check for any cracks in the walls, ceilings or floors. Look out for uneven floors, sagging roofs or bulges in walls. These could be signs of major structural issues that could cost you thousands of dollars to repair.
Secondly, pay close attention to the plumbing and electrical systems. Check for any leaky faucets, dripping pipes or signs of water damage. Inspect the hot water system, fuse box and electrical outlets to ensure they’re in good working condition.
Thirdly, assess the roof condition. Look for any stains, mould or leaks. Check the gutters and downpipes to ensure they’re not clogged or rusted. Be aware that roof repairs or a replacement can be expensive, so it’s important to properly examine the roof.
Fourthly, check the heating and cooling systems. Look for any outdated or inefficient heating and cooling systems that may need to be replaced. Test the temperature control settings and vents to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Finally, thoroughly inspect the overall condition of the property. Check the condition of the windows, doors, walls, and floors. Check for any signs of termite damage or pest infestations.
In conclusion, buying a home is a major financial investment, and it’s important to ensure that you’re making an informed decision. Taking the time to complete a thorough home inspection will give you the opportunity to identify any issues with the property and make a confident decision about your purchase. Good luck!
