It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
