What to check in a Point Cook home before offering
A few minutes at the open inspection.
In short: Things worth looking at yourself before you pay for anything.
Walk the floors
A floor out of level is often noticeable before it is measured.
Walk the perimeter
Look at where the ground falls and where downpipes end.
Look at the brickwork
Cracking is categorised by width, so photograph anything wider than a hairline.
Push the balustrades
On any balcony or stair.
Then arrange the real thing
None of this replaces an inspection. It tells you how urgently to arrange one.
