Is there a difference between how these checks work in theory and how useful they are in the real world?

For example, even if I go to the trouble of investigating and taking copies of previous minutes of meetings as I theoretically should, if the building's self-certified and run by goons connected to the original builder then in practice the defects might be concealed and covered up. This would make such searches time-consuming and meaningless.

There are probably all sorts of checks that people with experience could offer to potential first-home buyers.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
