This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
