This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
