It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
