I've bought many such homes, some owner bankrupt, some divorce and some the owner passed away children fighting for it. Usually for such houses I demolish the windows, front and rear doors, the roof, the floors and throw away 18" of the soil in the garden. Also tend to demolish away any renovations especially extensions and personalizations done. After that I leave it for 2-6 weeks.
You'd be surprised what you can find when you dig the soil. There was one semi-d I bought in TTDI, bought it at an auction. When I had one Indonesian dig up the soil he found 16 knives buried in the soil all pointing towards where the kitchen of the house.
Another 2 house, it is a pair of side-by-side semi-d in Bangsar, used to be owned by a very flamboyant Sarawakian Datuk with 2 wives, then he married a 3rd wife and somehow things went south for everyone. House was sold by his daughter from the 3rd wife who was quite the talker and charmer. We were trying to locate the main water line with a metal detector, the Indon that was working on it told me something unusual was under the soil. I told him to quickly demolish the roof, windows and doors, he suddenly told me he didn't want to do it. I then got a Bangladeshi who had newly arrived to do it. He assembled 9 men to do it and every single day they were there those 9 men and him kept getting sick. Then they brought one of their sharmans who told them better leave the place. I brought in a Sarawakian team and a Thai sharman. Whoa...... things changed. They climbed to the water tank of each of the house and found numerous limes with needles poked into it. Then they pried off all the plaster ceiling board. In every single room they found what appeared to be a used sanitary pad and in the master bedroom there were several dried out limes with needles poked into it too.
The sharman said there were stuff within the walls and to not ever break anything. We had them hack away the plaster and through enough there were sharp nails, what appeared to be tooth of a crocodiles and all kinds of funny things you don't normally find within a plaster. Ended up demolishing both houses and rebuilding it.
