What to check in a Melton South home before offering
A short walk around before you spend anything.
In short: Things you can look at yourself at an open inspection.
Walk the perimeter
Look for ponding, and for ground sitting up against the cladding.
Look up at the roof
Debris in the gutters and on the roof reduces drainage.
Look for stains
On ceilings and low on walls, particularly near wet areas.
Open the meter box
The termite management notice should be there.
Then book it
None of this replaces an inspection, it tells you how urgently to arrange one.
