We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
