Buying a property is a complex and<br />
potentially stressful process, not least<br />
because it involves such a scary amount<br />
of money.<br />
It’s smart to do as much as you can to<br />
reduce the risk of unwelcome surprises or<br />
unexpected costs further down the line.<br />
In the first instance, draw up a list of<br />
questions to ask about properties you’re<br />
interested in.<br />
Remember that you can ask the real<br />
estate agent anything you like about<br />
the property. <strong>The</strong>y are also required to<br />
tell you everything they know and not<br />
withhold any details.<br />
If you’re not sure what to ask, here’s a<br />
handy list of questions. Open homes can<br />
be busy, so ask the agent if you can talk<br />
on the phone, or send questions via email.<br />
• Have there been any issues with the<br />
property, such as earthquake damage<br />
or water-tightness?<br />
• Are there any offers on the property, or<br />
have any contracts been cancelled by<br />
potential buyers?<br />
• How long has it been on the<br />
market? What is the seller’s preferred<br />
settlement date?<br />
• What maintenance, repairs or<br />
improvements have been carried out?<br />
Do these have permits?<br />
• Is there a Land Information<br />
Memorandum (LIM) available or<br />
a building report prepared by an<br />
accredited property surveyor?<br />
• Is the property well-maintained? What<br />
condition are the roof, piles, wiring, and<br />
plumbing in?<br />
• Is the property insulated? If so, to what<br />
degree (eg walls, underfloor, ceiling)?<br />
• Is there any risk of methamphetamine<br />
(P) contamination?<br />
• If there is a body corporate (usually for<br />
apartments), what does that entail?<br />
• Are there any issues with neighbours or<br />
planned developments?<br />
If you are seriously considering making<br />
an offer, you will need to do your own<br />
research and seek professional advice.<br />
It may well become your home, so<br />
you need to know as much about it as<br />
possible to save unhappy surprises later.<br />
Knowing the right questions to ask is a<br />
good starting point.<br />
