It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
