What should you be looking out for at an open home

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

* Does everything open & shut?
* Do doors close smoothly or do they stick?
* Do lights turn on & off without flickering?
* Do taps work & is water flow adequate
* Are there signs of water damage (i.e. peeling or bubbled paint work, mould,
stained ceilings)?
* Do the floors slope or bounce? This may mean piles need replacing.
* Are there cracks in the walls, which could be an indication of subsidence?
* Is there any fretting (cracked) brickwork that could indicate major structural
problems?
* Don’t forget to walk around the outside of the home to check fences and the
condition of the building’s exterior including gutters and downpipes.

I'm sure you've seen it while doing your weekly shop... In fact, it may have even been you.

What do you think about people heading to the supermarket in their pyjamas?
