It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
