At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property is more than ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest additional investigation if relevant. Where there are any indications of material issues get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
