Naturally no interest at the advertised price. (Because its a repo, the property is being sold "as is" so no rectification clause.)
Just found out they sold it, sight unseen, to somebody living in a country town who couldn't come to Perth to inspect.
You could say that person was just plain and simply stupid.

All it takes is an email to the Agent asking if there is any damage not shown in the photographs that could impact on the sale and the answer in writing would give some form of protection.

You can always ask for further photographic evidence if the answer is yes there is damage not shown to help you determine if the sale is worth going ahead with.


Anyway I've never purchased a property I haven't had an independent building and pest inspection carried out even if everything looks hunky dory and I'm paying cash.
