What to discuss before booking

Property location and approximate age

Share the address and the age of the house to help plan an appropriate inspection.

Specific areas you are concerned about

Tell your inspector about visible changes, recurring moisture or other concerns you want assessed.

Any recent repairs, additions or access restrictions

Mention recent work and access limitations so the inspection can focus on the agreed areas.

Turn observations into a maintenance plan.

The inspection covers agreed accessible components and observed conditions at the time. It is not a guarantee that a property has no defects. Concealed areas, restricted access and specialist testing may need separate investigation.

When will the report be ready?

Confirm the delivery timing with your inspector before booking, particularly where a purchase or listing deadline applies.

Can I ask questions about the findings?

Discuss report questions with your inspector and agree on the best way to review significant observations and recommended next steps.

Useful answers without the jargon.

When is this useful?

When you want to plan upkeep, assess visible changes or prioritise work on a home you already own. Share any recurring concerns and previous repair history.

What should I ask to include?

Identify the buildings and areas you want reviewed. Agree whether the scope is a broad condition review or focuses on particular visible concerns.

What will the findings help me do?

Separate routine upkeep from items needing earlier attention or specialist assessment. Ask what could happen if a reported issue is left and what the next step should be.

Does the inspector carry out repairs?

The inspection and report are separate from repair work. Confirm any further service separately and obtain suitable contractor quotes before planning costs.

What affects price and timing?

Property size, access, travel and the agreed focus affect the work involved. Confirm the scope, quote and report timing with the local inspector.

Your local inspector confirms the actual service inclusions and arrangements.
