There is no perfect house. Even new homes have issues, but the key is to discover the really big ones before you buy. Here are just 7 things to check for.

1. Check the roof isn’t sagging.
2. Check there are no cracks in the brickwork.
3. Check the brick mortar hasn’t been patched.
4. Check the floors aren’t sloping.
5. Check there is access to the subfloor for inspection.
6. Check for mould and stains on walls and ceilings.
7. Check for excessively damp soil under and around the house.
