There are many things to consider when buying a property. For example, how busy is the road, the type of neighbourhood, proximity to schools, hospitals, shopping, community facilities, and public transport to name a few. You also need to consider what is potentially in your neighbouring yards.
As a Building and Pest inspection does not address factors that fall outside of the property you are purchasing, you may also consider what in neighbouring yards may be a potential problem for the property you are interested in purchasing. This may extend to fencing, retaining walls, landscaping, drainage and flooding with heavy rains, trees, and finally, pets.
You might consider seeking advice from the local council particularly about problem trees and a flood map of the area.
