This definitely gives you more than enough time to do your research and make sure work out what type of building inspections you're going to need.
North Sydney, 2089 continues to see massive inflation in pricing, and has definitely become one of the most expensive areas of all Australia to consider purchasing a house in! Its well and truly doubled in just over 5 years alone.
With 20% down on the average cost of the property, your weekly mortgage costs are going to amount to just under $2,500 over a 25 year loan, so safe to say you’re going to want to have a pretty secure job!
Given the fact you're about to start paying nearly $2,500 a fortnight, hidden costs could more than likely be the difference between living comfortable or paycheck-to-paycheck. Taking that into account, spending 1/5th of your weekly repayment and purchasing a building inspection to check for any pest or termites prior to locking down your new home can save you thousands of dollars and offer you peace of mind.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics the postcode of the Sydney CBD's median mortgage has increased by about 34% from the 2006 to 2011 period and has historically continued to climb upwards at a staggering rate!

Asbestos, pests, termites and structural defects could further impact mortgage repayment pressures in the years to come.
