Recap: why inspections are non-negotiable

A $700 inspection could save you $70,000.

In Part 2 of our How to Buy a Home series, Ben is joined by leading building inspectors Paul Baker and Miles Clark to unpack one of the most overlooked and financially risky parts of buying property: building and pest inspections.

You’ll learn:

✔️ What a good inspection should (and shouldn’t) cover
✔️ How to interpret “major defects” without panicking
✔️ The red flags inspectors look for in older homes
✔️ How to choose the right inspector (and avoid costly mistakes)
✔️ Why Victoria’s proposed pre-purchase inspection reforms could have unintended consequences for buyers=

Plus, we unpack a controversial proposal that could make vendor-supplied building reports mandatory… and why many in the industry are sounding the alarm.
