EP. 8 | How to Finalise Properties through Video Walk Through

In this episode, Parag Dixit, Julius and Mudit sit down with seasoned building and pest inspector Raymond to uncover the real risks of purchasing property without boots on the ground. From bathroom renovations that cost as much as a new build to the silent destruction of termites, this conversation is a masterclass in due diligence.


What you’ll learn:


  1. Why a detailed building and pest inspection is non‑negotiable – especially when buying sight unseen
  2. The shocking cost of renovations (and how to spot major structural issues before you buy)
  3. How to read between the lines of an inspection report – what’s a deal‑breaker vs. what’s an easy fix
  4. The hidden dangers of tree roots, termite damage, and poor drainage
  5. Why video inspections and thermal imaging give you the full picture (and save you thousands)
  6. How to choose a qualified inspector who will explain technical terms, not just hand you a report
  7. Using inspection findings to negotiate price or plan your maintenance budget like a pro


Raymond shares real‑world examples of buyers who saved themselves from costly mistakes and a few who didn’t.
