Always inspect a property before committing where practical.
During the inspection
- Check structural condition
- Inspect roofs, walls and floors
- Test doors and windows
- Confirm utilities
- Look for signs of dampness
- Review workmanship
Ask the seller or developer
- What is included in the sale?
- Are there known defects?
- What warranties apply?
