This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
