What to look out for:
On your inspection of a house take a thorough look around with a view to identifying any potential problem
areas. If an inspection report has already been provided with the contract for sale, check out any problems that
have been recorded to get an idea of whether you need to get a quote for repairs and how this will affect any
offer you may make. Keep in mind however that some seemingly minor faults can point to major problems so do
not rely solely on your own observations to assess the physical well being of the property.
Some things you can look out for include:
Evidence of rising damp under the house and on external walls
Black spots on walls and ceilings or rotted carpet near skirting boards
Rotten timbers under and around the shower area
Discoloured or flaking paintwork
Signs of pests
Freshly repaired or painted boards (may be hiding a larger flaw)
Springy floorboards
Doors and windows should close and open properly
Problem free plumbing
Bowed roof
Cracking in external and internal walls around cornices
Cracking running through the bricks and not the mortar
Gardens that are close to the walls of a house or that cover the external vents
Large trees close (2 metres) to the house
Guttering and downpipes that are not connected properly
Effective drainage for properties whose external ground level is near to the internal
  ground level
Arrange a professional inspection:
If you are looking at a house in a state or territory other than the ACT, you will need to arrange a professional
inspection before the sale goes ahead. Do not be tempted to skip on this expense and do it yourself. Potentially
expensive and dangerous problems can be hidden in a number of ways that you could easily overlook. Make
sure that the inspector you hire has professional indemnity insurance so that if a problem is missed you may be
able to make a claim against them. The building report will identify trouble areas, but not usually recommend
what needs to be done, so if there are any problems, seek advice from the appropriate trades person on costs
of repairs and chances of the problem recurring. There may be additional inspections needed depending on the
property, for example a structural engineer may be needed to follow up any issues with stability and a
geotechnical expert could be required for properties built on a steep block.
Other Issues:
There may be no major problems with the physical state of the property, but do not neglect to take note of
those other issues that may impose on your lifestyle and effect the value of your house. For example, if you are
buying the house during autumn or winter, could there be large trees that when in season may block sunlight or
the views that you are paying for? Did you see or hear any large or loud dogs that might keep you awake at
night or beat down your back fence? Do neighbours take the same pride in your garden as you intend to or is
there rubbish and debris lying around that takes away from the streetscape? Include your observations of
potential issues such as these along side your other notes when making your property inspections.
