We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
