Hi Guys, I bought a 1977 built house which was last sold for $390k in 2019 and I paid $650k. After moving in we found the cabinet drawers were broken and the house had plumbing issues which will cost up to $2k to fix. Surely I am not the only one who had these issues. Anyone else want to share their story ?

    That’s why you get an inspection. Go in eyes open.

    Cabinet drawers are nothing, hit up youtube or instructables and fix 'em up or replace. 2k for plumbing isn’t that bad.

      Mate you cannot find issues in 5min inspection. I think the whole process needs to be changed but the power is in the hand of real estate agents, not sellers and not buyers. They make and dictate the rules.

        …dude, you either got fucking ripped or went cheap.

        Our house inspection report is literally 179 pages. It certainly isn’t a ‘five minute’ job.
