Buying a home in Castle Hill NSW
Castle Hill is an established market. At the 2021 Census about 74 percent of dwellings were separate houses, 11 percent townhouses or semis and 15 percent apartments, and the median house price sits well above two million dollars. Many of those houses were built as the old orchards were subdivided, which means bathrooms and roofs that may be on their second or third life. A pre-purchase inspection is how you find out which.
Check wet areas closely: renovated bathrooms may show no visible membrane.
Look at the brickwork near windows and parapets for cracking.
Ask about the roof age and any past leaks.
For units, read the strata records alongside the inspection.
Book the inspection early in the cooling off period.
