Buying a home in Box Hill NSW

The Box Hill median house price sits at $1.305 million, up 4.2 per cent over the year, with 100 houses selling in three months at a median of 59 days on market. Rents average $830 a week. Most buying here is still house and land in one of the estates, but the suburb also holds older houses and acreage left from before the rezoning, and those inspect completely differently. If you are buying one of those, a pre-purchase inspection with the subfloor entered is the service you want, not a stage inspection.

FAQ

Buying a home in Box Hill NSW: common questions

Is there much established stock?

Less than the new estates, but it exists, and it tends to be older houses and acreage on larger lots. Those are the ones where a subfloor and a roof space inspection earn their fee.

Does the builder warranty transfer if I buy a near new house?

Statutory warranties under the Home Building Act run with the property, six years for major defects and two otherwise from completion. Check how much of that window is left, because it changes what a defect is worth to you.

How quickly can you inspect before a deadline?

Usually within a day or two, and jobs with a cooling off period or an auction behind them get priority. You have the report inside a day.
