We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
