Hi,
I am considering buying my first IP which is a house sitting on 300m2 land approx. The largest concern for me at the moment is the fact that it is a wooden house about 100 years old. While it has been owner-occupied and the owner has taken great care of it, I am conscious of the ongoing costs and maintenance.
What should I watch out for here? I'm in the process of requesting for building & pest inspections. But from what I've read, sometimes these reports don't give you enough details.
I'm quite new to this whole process so don't really know what I should personally be looking for, roof, gutter, sewage, water system? etc.
Any help is much appreciated!
