This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
