This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
