Thank you JacM! I feel enpowered! I'm going to inspect a property in the afternoon. What other questions should I ask the real estate agent?

Can anyone recommend companies to do building, pest and asbestos inspections, who can do a thorough job?We're in Melbourne (inner north). The property we're looking at is 60-70 years old and needs a good look at…Thanks.

Thank you, JacM.When you say- Buyer being able to secure insurance that is satisfactory to the buyer Do you mean building insurance? Is it hard/expensive to get a building insurance for a weatherboard house?
