Suppose you have decided
to buy a shiny new car. Would you simply go to the showroom and purchase it? I
am sure you will do your research, go through reviews, understand the features
and specifications, take a test drive and finally if you are convinced that it
is your money’s worth, you will make the purchase decision. Buying a house is a
bigger investment than buying a car. Are you sure you do enough research and
take enough precautions to make sure it is a worthy investment? Here are a few
things you must look at before buying a new property.
- Always opt for a termite pre purchase pest inspection. This inspection must be by a thorough professional who can tell you what are the pest and insect threats to the building and how much repairing foes it require.
- Find out if there are homeguard termite barriers (http://www.termitesvic.com.au/homeguard-termite-barrier/) installed in the apartments. These barriers are important as they will prevent any future attacks from termites or other pests.
- Also ask your broker to do a background check about the neighbourhood, the crime rate, the nearby facilities, etc.
