It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
