This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
