This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
