Thats asbestos.


Mrmastermax

The only answer in every post. And always the correct one! Good job mate. Your expertise helps OP.


JackWackington

Don't risk it, one fibre and you'll get your death certificate in the mail.


toadphoney

No. I would leave as is - I hate when people ruin old workmanship with sloppy renovation. Put some fake grass down though.


No-Profile-9068

* slaps wall * 30 more years and this baby is national heritage


MindlessOptimist

Bit of builders bog and a few tubes of "no more big gaps" should sort that lot out!


Important-Bag4200

The downpipe on the left looks a bit crooked....


Boatster_McBoat

Worth getting that checked out by a professional. Often its nothing but it could be caused by movement in the bricks


not-my-username-42

Structural engineer at minimum.


Boatster_McBoat

That's the thing, a wall might look safe to you but if it's brick on edge then that changes matters


pubisanubisnsfw

Sorry, I don't see what's highlighted in the red circle. Could you zoom in or be more specific?


HelpMePls___

There’s a sub for things exactly like that but I don’t know the name of it anymore

Reads like a news dot com dot au clickbait article


Sixrock

Some asshole drew a red line around your house. I bet it was neighbour.


Chromedomesunite

Nah should be right. It’s just settling, very normal for properties of this age. Think of the beautiful natural light you’ll get all day, every day.


Eloisem333

As long as it has no asbestos, you’ll be great. Personally I’d turn it into an Air B&B and change premium price for its “rustic charm”


[deleted]

It's "Open Air BNB"


Cimb0m

Indoor/outdoor living 😂


Simonandgarthsuncle

Open plan……everything.


ThinkingOz

The building inspection will be quite comprehensive because this is ‘access all areas’. You could be on a winner here. Good luck.


Noragen

So she’s a bit of a fixer upper


Sys32768

That can be fixed with corrosion resistant metal stucco lath.


speederbrad95

If you can’t find metal stucco lath… Use carbon fibre stucco lath.


BreakIll7277

Should be fine with the westerly winds


Subject_Shoulder

Skip Bin Fees.


Anderook

Ventilation is good, may need some insulation!


SirDale

I recommend you insulate while you have the plaster off.


HijinxEnsues

Naaa lick of paint and she’ll be right


Darksspawn

A door sausage will do to keep the draft out


Otherwise-Library297

Renovators delight!


Jsic_d

This is the best feed ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Resident-Masterdom

Nope looks mint..!!


jg66rpo83

That should buff out…


S_McDingleberry

Nothing to worry about cracks can form when a house settles


bluedot19

Quick trip to Bunnings and you should be right.


m0rjjj

You can rent it out 800$ per week.


nallaretep

Nup. But I wouldn't be happy with the line on that gutter down pipe.


wolfsrun12

Bit of silicone, she'll be right


Mogadodo

Make sure to do a pest inspection


bigbadb0ogieman

That doesn't look like mid-50s mate. Looks more recent.


Nearby-Mango1609

Typical built Aussie home, go for it!!!!


mypoopscaresflysaway

Just minor cosmetic issues. Looks good to me. The lawn looks a bit neglected though.


Kazerati

Lead paint was popular back then, so maybe just a fresh coat over the top.


[deleted]

Those trees look a bit close, the roots may be starting to get not the drain pipes.

Gin_and_T

Love the open plan living and the seamless way it transitions from inside to outside


farkenoath1973

Partially renovated.


RemarkableAd3778

Nothing a bit of liquid nails can’t fix


[deleted]

The window might need some fixing otherwise looks structurally sound


PezatronSupreme

$1.5m eh?


LumpyTemperature2464

You might need some no more gaps


Crafty-Antelope-3287

Your going to have to........... "Pick up the pieces, and build a Lego house" - Ed Sheeran. 2011


lordbillabadboy

Check the window frames


polojet

I would lift the house and move it to a blue chip suburb


twhoff

Painter will fix it… nothing to worry about.


Massive_Eye6373

Add some friable asbestos and termites and you have a grand design.


Davonimo

Should be OK. Ventilation looks overdone, but just see how it goes.


Abject_Lengthiness11

The lawn leaves a lot to be desired.


AmoremCaroFactumEst

The lawn looks like you might need to remove some serrated tussock. Bad weeds. Annoying to get rid of. Other than that you’re good to move straight in! I love the open plan kitchen/dining area


beaudiful-vision

The only thing I can see is that you should stop poking fun at putin.....looks like a direct hit to me ....


Dawzy

Is that asbestos?


mummyone11

The windows almost on the footpath, might wanna put that back in. Other than that, i love the character of the home.


wereprivatelyodd

Get rid of the big red circle and I think it'll be fine.


CommercialCompote896

Bit of sika should do the job


Stever72

Looks like it has good air flow.


M1lud

The grass is overgrown. You'll need an arborist and council permission to remove any weeds that have been established longer than 5 years- they might have qualified for heritage listing by now.


Cpt_Soban

REA: "Fixer-upper! Renovator's dream! Great ventilation! $800,000"


Conscious-Truth6695

All good bro


MurphamauS

It appears to be broken where no one can live in it.


[deleted]

Nah. She’ll paint up fine.


madashail

I dunno looks like a bit of termite damage there. Get a pest inspection report.


Buttercream91

If the previous owners don't bother to maintain the lawn for your inspection, just imagine what else might have been neglected.


idotoomuchstuff

Nice a fixer upper!


Larimus89

Might need a new window. But other than that this would go for 1.7m in Sydney.


Glyde1962

Couple of nails will fix it


Buttercream91

In the 50's, houses used to have separate walled rooms. Though this looks open plan living. I would have your building inspector check to make sure that wall wasn't load bearing.


Available-Seesaw-492

Paint over it and rent it out, should get at least $800/week


Bjornos

A couple of tubes of no more gaps and half a tin of paint and you're good to go.


OneTPAuX

Needs paint.


RedditMcNugget

It seemed fine to me at first glance, but after looking more closely inside that red circle, it may actually need some minor renovation


CardiologistNo5561

Someone needs to go to spec savers asap.


_TL_M

Looks like a small sikaflex job mate, look for someone charging roughly $6/LM so you know you aren’t getting ripped off, looks great so far, pics on completion please!


Elder_Priceless

Building Inspector will pass it.


Tree__Jesus

It'll buff out 👍


Mannerless1

Hmm, I’d so consider changing the windows, they aren’t very nice, other than that I can’t see a problem.


IllustriousCarrot537

Still better than many rentals... 🤔😁🤣


Critical_Pudding5071

Ay mate the house is broken half of it is collapsed


K00zaa

When the Scope said Demo the bottom living room & you turn up to site & are like the scope doesn't say brickwork aswell you DumbFuck
