Check ownership, design records, drainage, cracks, movement, slope loading, repairs and monitoring.
A retaining wall is a structural and drainage issue
Identify the wall, supported land, boundary and responsible owner. Request design, approvals, construction records and prior repairs. Record cracks, rotation, bulging, settlement, blocked outlets, seepage and erosion without diagnosing cause from appearance alone.
An independent structural and geotechnical review should consider slope, soil, surcharge, rainfall pathways and neighbouring work. Establish monitoring and emergency escalation before purchase. Read the boundary-wall guide, rainy-season checks and buyer service.
Next step

Fact check
Ownership, approvals, stability, drainage, repair scope and liability are site-specific and may change after weather or nearby works. Use current surveys and qualified engineers.
