Underpinning on steep sloping block? Dealbreaker?

My partner and I have been looking at a property on a relatively steep sloping block in the Victorian mountains, and today the junior sales agent let it slip that the property has had underpinning! :(


Is underpinning on such a block something that should stop us from making the purchase? Is this something that would need to be done again in the future, and at much expense given the slope of the block?:?


The property is already expensive (perhaps the owner wants to recoup his structural expenses?) - so we are weary of purchasing something that may need vast sums of money down at it in the future.:o


Thoughts? Should we just walk away?
