​I inspected a beautiful house this week built around the year 1900. The house itself was in great condition considering the age of the residence. The large 1970's built Granny Flat addition however was in a very poor condition. It had numerous issues, like leaking roofing, due to non tradesman like construction and wood rot in the poorly maintained timber that was used on external exposed areas, such as fascia, barges and window canopies.
Sagging ceilings,  mold related issues and a badly damaged bathroom that had cracked shower tiling, broken shower screen etc. The bathroom was in a non usable condition due to the moisture levels present.
Now the main issue is that this area was closed off during the sales open inspection from the purchaser, as a tenant was living in there still. The fact that I looked at the property a few days later and the Granny Flat was empty and windows were open, incense sticks were positioned to hide musky smells of the damp related issues brings the question of why was access not granted until an offer was placed on the property. 
Inspections are so important for your financial and safety reasons.
