WHAT A PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION CAN HELP WITH

What a Pre-Purchase Inspection Can Help You Understand

A pre-purchase building inspection helps you understand the visible condition of a property and the concerns that may need attention, further checking or practical planning before going unconditional.

  • Visible defects and maintenance concerns

  • Moisture-risk indicators where accessible

    Comparative moisture readings may be taken to selected accessible areas where appropriate.

  • Visible weathertightness risk indicators

    The inspection can identify visible risk indicators that may need further specialist assessment.

  • Further investigation items

    Where a concern cannot be confirmed within a visual inspection, further assessment may be recommended.

  • Report limitations

    Inaccessible areas and inspection limitations are recorded so you understand what was and was not inspected.

  • Practical next steps

    The report explains visible findings and may recommend suitable further specialist advice where appropriate.
