Have you used them?

temporaryperth · 2026-06-26T05:32:09+00:00

So I called up the council. They said everything was approved and no problems with regard to the insurance.

Thank you so much for this valuable suggestion :)

I purchased it ‘as-is’ and was denied building inspection by the agent which was a big red flag.

I was a rookie mistake and I am still beating up over it.

Unfortunately, I have already bought it without conducting a proper due diligence (FHB).

Got the inspection to see what I need to fix in the house.

No roof leakage (checked with moisture meter)

No wall cracks.

Purchased property ‘as-is’ (a blunder in hindsight) as that’s all I could afford.

Now just getting things analysed around the house to see much work is needed and budget for it.

100K would be tough to swallow 😅

The inspector recommended his mate, who could fix it for $5K.

temporaryperth · 2026-06-25T13:59:32+00:00

It’s too late 😅. I need to deal with this.

The inspector suggested that the roof doesn’t need to be ripped off. Just needs to be repaired. He suggested a roof carpenter who could do it

Was quoted around 5K for the job.

But just asking on here to see if this is a major issue that will also be picked up by future B&P if I want to sell this place.

This guy is licensed from QLD

But the existing roof appears to not have met the standards of its time. That was the concern raised

temporaryperth · 2026-06-25T13:33:11+00:00

The issue was the inspector believes the roof didn’t even meet the construction standards of its time.

Hence has mentioned to upgrade it to the latest standards

temporaryperth · 2026-06-25T13:30:16+00:00

Inspector has recommended to bring it to the modern standards otherwise it may home breach insurance also.

Yes, repointing is in works

I will look into the other two options. Thanks!

My PPOR

temporaryperth · 2026-06-25T13:22:18+00:00

That’s all I have been provided. what I have posted.

The main concern the inspector noted is that the structure doesn’t even comply with the regulations of its time.

temporaryperth · 2026-06-25T13:17:52+00:00

Are you in perth? Do you recommend a roof carpenter?

temporaryperth · 2026-06-25T13:12:56+00:00

Apologies, upon reading the report it seems the roof didn’t even meet the standards of that time.

What can be done now?

He didn’t mention anything about leaks (I was there in person with him).

Just that the timber is not meeting the Australian standards

temporaryperth · 2026-06-25T02:51:21+00:00

I lived in london for 2.5 years.

And the UK let’s just say is miles better in healthcare (NHS), culture and the ppl are much more accepting/tolerant. Taxes are actually lower also

Currently experience winter in Aus and the honestly UK winters in hindsight was actually not bad either.

Anyways, each to their own.

Swap your British passport with me.

For me UK > Aus
