This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
