    I’m buying my first property and I think the real estate agent is telling me inaccurate information.

    I’ve made a verbal offer on a property and my next step is to get building inspections done. The agent told me that she could write up a written offer subject to building inspection. She said that I cannot pull out of the written offer unless the building inspection shows major structural problems.
    Is that correct? Can’t I make the conditions in the written offer so that I can pull out (at no cost to me) if the building inspection turns up “non-critical” defects such as plumbing or electrical or drainage etc…

    You can put in wahtever condition you want. You’ve got the money, you’re in the driver’s seat. “The result of the Building Inspection report being to you satisfaction.”

    Is there something to make you a bit suspect? If there are notable additionals call the local Council to check that each addition has been approved and approved for final occupation. Some lead time will be required with the Council because they’re generally very busy.
