Sketch out the floorplan and jot down your thoughts as you go, including problems. If you\u2019re looking at multiple properties it can be easy to start melding homes together in your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Who Comes With You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s not the person you\u2019re buying the home with you, make sure you bring someone who will help you make a decision, or at the very least not get in your way. If someone is going to impose their view on you regardless of what you want, it\u2019s best to leave them behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look for Key Attributes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the lighting, open plan living, wear and tear, age of the bathrooms and kitchen and that all the appliances are working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The real estate agent\u2019s photos are designed to make a property look its best. Don\u2019t be afraid to pull out your phone and take photos of what the place really looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Things to Check at an Open Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the six steps above help you stay organised and objective, there are a few <strong>extra practical checks<\/strong> that buyers often overlook during open homes. These won\u2019t replace a professional inspection, but they can help you quickly identify whether a property is worth taking further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check the Neighbourhood Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Step outside and observe the surrounding area. Pay attention to noise levels, traffic flow, nearby construction, and neighbouring properties. What feels fine during a short inspection may feel very different day-to-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assess Storage and Practical Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Look beyond styling and consider real storage needs. Check wardrobes, cupboards, garage space and laundry areas. A lack of storage can become a daily frustration, especially for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look for Signs of Moisture or Ventilation Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While inspectors assess moisture professionally, buyers can still look for surface clues such as musty smells, condensation on windows, peeling paint, or visible mould in bathrooms and laundries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Windows, Doors and Natural Airflow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open and close windows and doors where possible. Poor airflow, stiff frames or excessive noise penetration may indicate comfort or maintenance issues later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Think About Future Maintenance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask yourself how much ongoing upkeep the property may require. Large gardens, ageing fixtures, older roofing or external timber features can all add to long-term maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask the Right Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the open home to ask the agent about the age of key elements such as the roof, hot water system, renovations, and whether a building and pest inspection has already been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understand &amp; Use Professionals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you know what you\u2019re listening for, leave the tapping on the walls to us. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspectmyhome.com.au\/building-pest-inspection-northern-beaches.html\">Building and pest inspectors<\/a> are there to check the condition of the building, degradation and potential pest activity. However, if there seems to be an issue with the wiring, it\u2019s best to get an electrician to look into it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve found a property you\u2019re considering buying, talk to us about a comprehensive building and pest inspection.

Structural and pest concerns should be assessed later by professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can an open home replace a building inspection?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. An open home helps you decide whether to proceed, but only a building and pest inspection can properly assess defects and risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should I take photos at an open home?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Photos help you remember details and compare properties later, especially when viewing multiple homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are common red flags buyers miss at open homes?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor ventilation, signs of moisture, lack of storage, excessive noise, and maintenance-heavy features are often overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When should I organise a building and pest inspection?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re serious about a property and before contracts are finalised, a building and pest inspection should be arranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What should I focus on during an open home?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Buyers should focus on layout, liveability, storage, lighting and obvious surface issues.
