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.

People like to use their own independent building inspectors. I wouldn't trust one supplied by a vendor.

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.

They just used it as a nest egg.
They still would have made a lot more on paper than
if they would have put their money into super.
They'll do OK.

Not only that -
all those inspections have an out clause for the inspector
hidden in the fine print.

If they fail to find something that costs you a fortune to fix
you can't make a lawsuit against them.

I just had another look at the picture.
I point out that the drain could have overflowed
and the water may have undermined the foundations?
Damp coursing should have stopped it - why not?

Also - why are the bricks a different colour on the bottom layers?
Has a previous owner had the whole house re-pointed
using different color bricks because of a subsidence problem -
or was it an original color scheme?

It smells a bit fishy to me.

dear beloved LTYC,
I sold my house ages ago.
I've been looking for another one ever since.
I wouldn't buy a brick veneer banger.
You can see how fussy I am.
I was hoping to get advice from the people on Ozpolitic -
many of whom have more experience in these important matters.

forgiven
