Unlike many real estate companies our aim is to provide the client the facility to review all properties on offer within their specific price range and location requirements. We do not agree with high pressure sales techniques or steering clients to properties that offer greater incentives or areas that have not been researched in depth. We uphold the integrity of providing a professional service. Having made the move from UK to Florida ourselves, we are aware of the pitfalls and problems of purchasing here and want to make the experience as hassle free and enjoyable as possible.

Unlike the UK, Florida has no regulation on who can inspect your home therefore many home inspectors cannot be verified as to their education and experience. Most reputable Realtors will only recommend home inspectors who are certified members of The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) as these inspectors have already been selected because of their experience, qualifications and entrance exams. ASHI is assisting in working towards regulating the home inspection industry to protect the consumers.

A termite inspection is strongly recommended in Florida on all types of property. Early detection can prevent thousands of dollars of damage and in more severe case total reconstruction of a property after an infestation.

Whether you live in the North or South of America your home is a target for termites. Termites can enter your home through tiny cracks in the foundation or slab, through utility entry points, or anywhere that soil contacts the wood. If they can't find easy entrance points near the ground, they will construct mud tunnels up the side of a structure to access areas above the ground.

Termites rarely come to the surface of what they're eating, therefore most of the time you will never know they have invaded your home until it is too late. However, if you're lucky, you may see some of the warning signs. The Subterranean termites are the most common type of termite, and have been estimated to cause over 90% of all termite damage in the USA.

Home warranties offer valuable protection on major systems and appliances including, home heating, plumbing, electrical and central air conditioning systems coverage that gives buyers security. Coverage is for systems and appliances in good working order at the start of the contract (i.e. pre existing conditions are not covered).

When a problem occurs with a covered appliance or mechanical system such as an air conditioning unit, a service technician repairs or replaces it using brand-new, top-quality parts and appliances.

Many overseas property owners have concerns about their property while away and unfortunately have no one to inspect their property.

In many cases a local property manager will be employed if the property is in a rental management program, unfortunately this is not always the best person to carryout this service.

Property managers base their expenses on time and effort involved in managing your property, therefore it is in their interest that problems are identified and corrected by them charging a fee. In recent months property management companies have gone into liquidation leaving the owners with poorly maintained and unsecured properties.

Our service is totally independent to any property management service as we do not manage any properties in Florida. The aim of our service is to inspect your property on a monthly basis and after any local storm, hurricane or should you request it.
