It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
