It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
