It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
