Did you attend an inspection last weekend?
Do you remember if the property is at the higher end of the street or how new the windows' furnishings are?
With everything that is going on, buyers tend to forget the tiny details when going through an inspection and that is why Perry is sharing his top 7 key things to look for during a property inspection.
What direction does the property face? Is there much natural light throughout the day? Is there enough cupboard and wardrobe space? Do the windows and doors open easily? Is there mouldy, damp or rotting areas on the skirting boards, walls, ceilings or floorboards? Has the property recently been painted? How strong is the water pressure? Does the hot water come through quickly? Is there evidence of rust or other damage to the pipes? How old and big is the hot water system? Are any of the light switches loose? Do the roof, guttering or drain pipes look old or in need of replacing? Are there any cracks in the interior or exterior walls? If they run long or deep, ask the real estate agent to flag them should you go ahead with a building inspection later on. Is noise likely to be an issue from pedestrians, traffic or aircraft? It could be worth returning to the property at a different time in the day to see how much quieter – or noisier – it can become. How much space does the property have from the neighbours? Are they likely to be noisy? Are there any odd smells?
Is there a garage or assigned parking?
If not, how easy will it be to park on the street and are there any restrictions?
