This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs
