Question 9 to Ask When Viewing
Defects...unfortunately a subject of much deliberation during sale agreements.
Even though a disclosure report signed by the seller is now mandatory, there will always be some flaws which the seller, and agent, will not be aware of, especially if the property is leased and the Seller is not able to physically do an inspection.
Recent repair work in some of the rooms might paint a different picture, no? Have damp issues been fixed? Does it have a flat roof? If so, when was the last maintenance done? Is there still a valid warranty?
Ask as many questions as you can, as these answers will assist you in making your offer, and sometimes it could lead to not making an offer.
