In this episode, we take the guesswork out of interpreting your building and pest report. We break down 10 of the most common red flags in property inspections; from high moisture readings to termite activity, cracked walls, poor drainage, and more, and explain what they actually mean for your purchase. Some issues need urgent attention. Others? Not as scary as they sound.

Here's what we unpack and why it matters:

🔍 Moisture, Movement & Maintenance: What's a Real Problem?
Learn how to assess whether issues like cracking, dampness, or displaced tiles point to major structural concerns, or just normal wear and tear.

🛠️ Termites, Tree Roots & Timber Decay
We share what past reports have taught us about pest activity, garden intrusions, and timber rot, and why context matters more than the word itself.

📋 Drainage, Ventilation & Safety Hazards
These sound intimidating in black-and-white, but once you understand the cause, you'll know when to walk away and when to negotiate.

💡 What to Ask Your Inspector (And When to Push Back)
Most buyers don't realise they can ask for clarification on report notes. We give you the language to get clear answers, and peace of mind.

📚 Real-Life Examples From the Field
From simple fixes that solved "major" issues to historic notes that turned out to be irrelevant, we've seen it all and we're sharing those stories with you.

🎯 By the end of this episode, you'll feel more confident reading your report, asking the right questions, and knowing which issues truly matter. Because red flags in property inspections aren't always bad news, they can be opportunities to learn more about the property and make better choices moving forward.
