Navigating property inspections with Pete and Amy

Purpose of this list is to not go into a property and check all 100 items, it’s a guide for you to determine what’s important/relevant for you

-Inspections – private inspection or open home?

Sometimes you only get one chance, and there may not a lot of time!

-Take notes & videos (ask the agent)

-Does it meet your brief? (if not - why are you there?)

Property itself – building inspector does check a lot of things (dampness, roof, switchboard, appliances etc) understand this so you can focus on what’s important to you  

What can and can’t you change? Location!

  • Noise
  • Natural light
  • Size (yes and no)
  • Aesthetics
  • Storage
  • Immediate vs future work
  • Parking space/permit parking/traffic –can you fit in the car space? Is there a storage cage included? Make sure you get the right lot number! 

    Renovations (speak to your legal representative) & new structures, sleepout, decking, carports, open plumbing applications. Are they all approved & signed off?

    For apartments:

    • Car space on title/storage cage
    • Courtyard on title
    • Common area
    • Overlooking
    • OC fees/minutes etc (can do this before/after inspection)     
    • The local area:

      Can do this before/after the open:

      • Zoning & overlays
      • Planning permits, major works
      • Local amenity
      • School zones
      • Streetscape
      • Transmission lines
      • Social housing
      • And what about the ‘vibes?’ Most importantly - DO YOU LIKE the property? And if not, why not?
