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

We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
