Choose this report if you're buying a conventional house, bungalow or flat, built from common building materials and in reasonable condition.

The service includes:

• pre-inspection client discussion
• pre-inspection desktop research
• a physical inspection of the property
• a report based on the inspection
• a client debrief and post-survey feedback/next steps.

We will inspect inside and outside the main building and all permanent outbuildings, recording construction and significant visible defects. We will not use force or open up the fabric of the buildings, but will, where accessible, inspect loft spaces, storage areas and cellars.

We will inspect the condition of boundary walls, fences, permanent outbuildings and areas in common (shared) use.

Building services i.e. gas, electric, heating and hot water, are generally hidden within the construction of the property. This means that only the visible parts of the available services can be inspected, and we will not carry out specialist tests. We will lift drain covers where accessible.

Reports feature a traffic light system, for simple communication of each element's condition. We use a variety of photographs to enhance our reports and always follow up with a post-survey phone call.
