It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
