An independent condition and compliance report on a specific property — commissioned by you, written for you, and owed to nobody else.
It either buys you a negotiating position or tells you to walk away. Both outcomes are worth several times what the report costs, which is why skipping it is the most expensive saving available on a purchase.
Permits, title position and any drawings are reviewed before the visit, so the inspection knows what the building is supposed to be.

You end up withSite findings and photographsWritten to be read by you and acted on by your lawyer or a contractor, with the serious separated from the cosmetic rather than listed together.
You end up withWritten reportFindings are far easier to reflect in a price before it is agreed than after.
Somebody has to look at the building who is not selling it to you.

Timings depend on the plot, the size of the building and how quickly the authorities respond. Ask us for a schedule against your specific project.
