Our eventual buyer wasn't phased at all. We got a copy of another purchasers (that sale fell through) building inspection and fixed the things that turned them off our house. We were keen to sell as most people generally are so don't be put off by cosmetic faults instead use them to your advantage! Unless there are structural defects or pest infestation ofcourse then I wouldn't bother...we had a bit of struggle as we are in a mine subsidence area too. That's another story though haha! Will never buy in one of those areas again only due to the kafuffle at re-sale...good luck with your purchase! Re: Ceiling question 17Feb 27, 2016 6:38 am Its hard to tell from the outside pictures.

Some of those were steel framed houses. Steel framing is galvanised and not once has there been a problem with corrosion irrespective of the location. We do reports in accordance with AS 4349.3 and if there are any defects that are structural in nature our report then recommends that a structural engineer be consulted.
