It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
