It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
