This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
