This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks 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 any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
