Report
I enquired with this company before settlement on my property. They were persistent and followed up a little too frequently. Their communication was frequent after settlement so I had them to do a depreciation report which I received about a week later.
Afterwards I was offered a free rent appraisal and property report which I feel was a good incentive, hence the 5* review.
