This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.
