Don't Get Caught Out
Our job is to supply our clients with as much useful information as possible in order for them to make an informed decision on the suitability of the property for their needs.
Contact us with the property and real estate agent or vendor details. We will contact the real estate agent or vendor to book a time for the inspection to take place. We inspect the property including the following items (room by room):
The internal condition of the property including:
- wall linings
- windows and doors

- floors
- bathroom fixtures

Possible lack of and/or failure of waterproofing in tiled areas

Possible leaks or water ingress :
Where water ingress is detected or the construction of a house is high risk (i.e. some plaster clad houses) moisture tests can be carried out on request with a non-invasive moisture meter. Where further investigation of any issues is required (i.e. where moisture readings are higher than acceptable), permission of the vendor is required to carry out moisture tests using an invasive (probe type) moisture meter. If readings are still high, we make recommendations for further invasive investigations.
Plumbing, electrical and drainage:
If these dos not appear to comply with regulations, we recommend further investigation by a registered tradesman
