The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is more than 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any apparent problems and suggest further investigation where relevant. If there are any indications of material issues obtain a full Building Survey from the beginning.
