Buying a home in Gledswood Hills NSW

Twenty four houses changed hands in a recent quarter at a median around $1.48 million, with values up about 12.5 per cent over twelve months and a median of thirty days on market. Because the suburb only exists from 2011, a resale here is a near new house rather than an old one, and that changes what a pre-purchase inspection is looking for. Not decay, not a century of alterations, but workmanship: whether the original handover list was ever closed out, and whether anything on it is still open while the statutory warranty runs.

FAQ

Buying a home in Gledswood Hills NSW: common questions

What does a pre-purchase inspection cover?

AS 4349.1: a visual inspection of readily accessible areas reporting significant structural damage, conditions conducive to it and safety hazards. Not a snag list and not a valuation.

Is a timber pest inspection worth it on a new house?

Yes, for a different reason than on an old one. The question is whether the termite management system is intact and whether the durable notice exists at all.

How far ahead of an auction should I book?

A few days is comfortable. Tell us the auction date when you enquire and we work back from it.
