It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags
