Dilapidated Home Selling
Welcome to the Clear View Property Inspections dilapidated home selling service for Sydney, NSW. Our home inspections are performed according to a pre-established checklist, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the property’s condition. The checklist includes various elements such as dust sampling, ventilation measurements, floor plan drawings with bedrooms, kitchen, and dining room locations.

During a home sale, a dilapidated home can present various challenges when it comes to selling. From the outside, a dilapidated house may appear to be in poor condition and in need of extensive repairs.
Before putting a dilapidated home on the market, it is crucial to prioritize a thorough building inspection. A building inspection is the process of evaluating the overall condition of a property, including its structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and other vital components. This is an essential step in selling a dilapidated home, as it provides potential buyers with an accurate assessment of the property’s condition and any issues that may need to be addressed. By conducting a building inspection, sellers can gain valuable insights into the actual state of their dilapidated home, enabling them to make informed decisions about repairs and pricing. Without a building inspection, sellers risk putting their dilapidated house on the market without fully disclosing its actual condition.

Common Causes of Dilapidated Homes
Lack of proper property management
When a property is not managed or maintained effectively, it can lead to neglect and deterioration over time. This can occur in both private and public/social housing projects, where property management tasks may not be given the required attention. This can result in properties becoming dilapidated and displaying signs of disrepair. Additionally, natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, or storms can cause significant damage to buildings, leading to their dilapidation.
Property Age
As a property ages, it is more prone to deterioration and decay. This is due to wear and tear on building materials, aging infrastructure systems, and exposure to environmental factors such as moisture, sunlight, and temperature fluctuations.
Lack of financial resources for maintenance and repairs
Discriminative policies by banks or lending institutions against old properties can limit the sources of financing for housing improvements, making it difficult for homeowners to address maintenance and repair needs in a timely manner. This delay in maintenance and repairs can exacerbate the dilapidation of a property over time. Furthermore, inadequate building design solutions can contribute to the dilapidation of a property. For example, if a property is not designed with proper drainage systems or structural reinforcements, it may be more susceptible to water damage or structural failure, leading to deterioration.
Improper use or lack of maintenance culture
Improper use of a property, such as neglecting regular maintenance and repairs, can contribute to its deterioration and eventual dilapidation. Poor maintenance culture can result in the accumulation of minor issues that, if left unaddressed, can worsen and contribute to the overall deterioration of the property. The consequences of dilapidation are aesthetic and pose potential safety risks to occupants.
