What to really look for in a building and pest report
In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Aus Property Report founder Myles Clark to unpack what investors really need to look for in building reports, as he debunks myths and clarifies confusing report language.
They discuss the most common and costly defects that can catch investors off guard, from structural problems to hidden maintenance issues.
The conversation then turns to the limitations of building inspections – what an inspector can’t see, how to manage these blind spots, and how investors can distinguish between good and bad inspectors.
Finally, they explore the differences investors should expect between houses and strata properties, including units and townhouses, before sharing Clark’s top tips on protecting assets from long-term damage.
