Why arrange one
- Identify components likely to raise questions.
- Gather relevant invoices, warranties and proof of work.
- Plan useful corrections without turning the property into an unnecessary renovation project.
What it does not do
- It does not establish market value, guarantee a transaction outcome or replace seller disclosures. It provides a time-specific picture subject to the same accessibility limits as a pre-purchase inspection.
Presenting information properly
- A documented repair is more useful than a vague statement. Keep invoices, photographs, specialist reports and warranties. When a condition remains, a factual explanation can reduce ambiguity.
Before we arrive
- Provide access to components, gather renovation documents and disclose known losses, water intrusion or repairs. The goal is not to hide defects, but to understand the building transparently.
