It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
