This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
