It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
