Hi everyone
I need some help and I'm not sure to do.
I have just bought my second investment property, which is very very old and ugly house, expected settlement this Friday.
I went for final inspection for the property today and I was very disappointed and shocked about the condition.
1. There are junk everywhere, old mattress, old timber, damaged old white goods in the front yard and backyard etc. The agent said the vendor will get rid of them by settlement but I'm not convinced because they are EVERYWHERE
2. The lawn is clearly 'untouched' since the property was sold. The grass was very long
3. Very dirty house. Dust everywhere. You can see the carpet full of black dot! (Ewww!!)
4. Most importantly, when I purchased the property, there is a room that is FULL of STUFF. Like stuffed with old furnitures and files etc and I cant really see how the room is like. I was told it is good condition, just the vendor used it as a storage. I'm OK with it but finally, the vendor removed the stuffs and I can see the wall is damaged and there is even a metal bar coming out from the ground!!! I told the agent this is ridiculous but he said it was like that when I purchased the property and second hand property are sold 'as is'.
I feel that this is very sad about the whole situation and I'm not sure what I can do. I always knew this is not a nice house but didn't expect it to be this filthy condition. What can I do? The real estate agent doesn't seem to be helpful / on my side.
