It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
