This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
