Hi Guys, I bought a 1977 built house which was last sold for $390k in 2019 and I paid $650k. After moving in we found the cabinet drawers were broken and the house had plumbing issues which will cost up to $2k to fix. Surely I am not the only one who had these issues. Anyone else want to share their story ?

I think that's fairly common for older places.

My experience is similar. Some things were overlooked when we bought. Others just were up for fixing after a few years.

Finding a decent plumber has proved difficult. I've at least found good AC and electrical trades.

O'shea aren't the cheapest, but they do good work if you're melbs. We're collecting a list of trades as well ('61 house)
