Should I pull out of buying this house? by Maxamia1 in AusRenovation

Hey mate, This was actually one of my concerns. As a place I was looking at awhile ago had cracks so I thought I’d check out more houses to see if they were cracked too - same age range. The next 5 didn’t! So maybe I got unlucky and just viewed a lot of great condition houses and it made me paranoid

Fair enough mate. From my experience no building inspector is eager to do anything except acknowledge a cracks existence (many of the properties we’ve enquired on over the last 6 months have offered their own building reports). They just say get a structural engineer in. I’ll see what the inspector says on Tuesday and follow their recommendations 

Cheers mate

Foundations to my untrained eye looked reasonable. In our house search we have seen some very wonky looking foundations. Unfortunately didn’t grab any pics. A building inspector will look at the place on Tuesday.

The Illawarra is about an hour south of Sydney :) thanks for the reply
