It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
