In short: Things you can check yourself before paying for anything.
Where the cladding meets the ground
There should be a visible gap. If soil or paving is against it, that is a problem.
Doorways
Look for a weather stop at the base of external doors.
Fascia line
Stand back and look for gaps between fascia and eave.
The meter box
Check for the termite management notice.
Then book properly
None of this replaces an inspection, it just tells you how urgently to book one.
