It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
