What the inspection covers

Useful evidence, explained clearly.

The inspection is visual and non-invasive. It records what is visible and reasonably accessible on the day, so you have a helpful basis for speaking to the builder or developer.

  • Internal rooms, finishes, accessible fixtures and fittings.
  • Visible incomplete work and apparent finish-quality issues.
  • Photographs and concise descriptions to make findings easier to follow.
  • Relevant access limitations or safety concerns noted in the report.

This is not a structural survey, valuation, warranty inspection, building-regulations check or specialist test. Please see the Client Terms for the full service scope.
