What sort of system is this ? And that Frydenturd dude wants the banks to start doling out money again to increase the price of all of these dumps. I just don't get it Sad

We need compulsory termite & building inspection certificates
supplied by the owner by law.

You just make the certificates a condition of sale.

If the seller doesn't supply them, you tell them to stick their house up their arse.

Simples.

Are you dumping feces on three fingers Gordon?

Yep - people need to be tough like Greggy.

I've done it three times.

If the offer comes back with "at seller's cost" crossed out, I tell the agent to withdraw the offer.

Nek minnut, seller pays

If someone wants to sell a house bad enough they aren't going to quibble over $400.

Yes - it looks like it would need to be jacked up on that area -
some concrete put down under the foundation &
then the bricks re-installed with new mortar.

One problem with jacking up an area of a house is that
the internal walls can start cracking.
The more you think about it, the worse the problem becomes.

That's OK for a termite inspection but what about brickwork?
You need a quote to fix it.

Reminder from page 7 of this thread about a similar problem:

You can get a building inspection and termite inspection combined for about $400 to $500.

I don't think I'd be buying something with cracks like that, though.

Yes - like the last one shown above - someone actually bought it!

Some people like a challenge.

It looks old, though.

They might be considering demolition and rebuilding.

I know one person who wanted a challenge -
a house in a terrible state.

He and his wife bought a house in 2007 and they have
only renovated 2 bedrooms & a bit of the kitchen after over 11 years.
They still have the lounge & another bedroom & the full kitchen to do.
In that time they haven't received a cent of income from rent or anything.
It's still worth nearly 3 times what they paid for it
especially if they can finish the renovation.

Perhaps they could have made more by bulldozing it and selling the land for a quick buck.

Flippers can make more than sitters.
