Im looking at buying a 1950's house and its in need of some repairs. so hoping to get some help on things I should need to know what to look out for please?
I'd start by getting quotes from multiple builders so you are prepared for the renovation costs. Also find a well-reviewed building and pest inspector to avoid any unwanted surprises. Read up on how to avoid overcapitalizing on renovations. How to avoid overcapitalising on a reno
Welcome to the forums! First thing to be aware of is that it's likely full of asbestos which will make any reno's/repairs either expensive or dangerous, depending how much you like to live on the edge. get a good building inspection and go through with them so you can learn.
hi @k8ie, welcome to PC which areas are you looking at? how good is the market (booming, flat, declining) ATM? reno / repairs could be expensive considering the age of the property. get a few quotes from reputable tradies, get a really good BP inspection before committing anything.
