Defect inspections for specific concerns
If you have a concern about visible building work or property condition, explain the issue and where it occurs. A defect inspection can provide an organised written and photographic record of the accessible observations. Describe any history, previous work or documents that may help define the inspection scope.
Pre-sale building inspections
A pre-sale inspection gives owners an opportunity to understand visible issues before listing a property. Findings can help you prepare for questions and discuss next steps with relevant trades or advisers. It does not guarantee a future sale outcome or replace a buyer’s own assessment.
Choose a report for the property stage
A pre-purchase inspection suits a buyer reviewing an established property. New build stage inspections relate to accessible work during construction, while a Practical Completion Inspection focuses on visible completion items near handover. A dilapidation report records a baseline before nearby works.
Explain the intended use of the report
Tell us whether the report is for your own information, a builder discussion or another specific purpose. Do not assume that a general visual inspection includes specialist testing, engineering design, repair pricing or a report tailored for formal proceedings. Any specific requirements should be discussed before booking.
Common questions
I am unsure which report I need. What should I select?
Choose Other in the quote form and explain the property stage, the concern and what you need the report for. We can discuss an appropriate scope before confirming the booking.
Does every concern require a building inspection?
Some concerns may need a specialist assessment. Explain what you have observed so the appropriate next step can be discussed rather than assuming one inspection covers every issue.
