This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.
