Buying an established home in Donnybrook VIC
Streets here are barely a decade old, so age related decay is rare. What does turn up is balustrades below the minimum height, gutters installed incorrectly, showers already leaking and sarking torn in the roof space. None of that is apparent walking through on a Saturday.

Check balustrade heights. Under a metre is a safety hazard, not a detail.
Follow a downpipe and see whether it actually connects to anything.
Look at the base of the shower wall rather than the tiles.
Before you offer on a Donnybrook home, look for the durable termite notice kept in the meter box.
Timber pests are not part of a building only report; add AS 4349.3 if you want them covered.
