It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
