As the name says, this building inspection report is the one you get before you buy a property.
Sometimes referred to as a ‘standard property report’, a pre-purchase property inspection report is a written account of the condition of a property.
It will tell you about any significant building defects or problems such as rising damp, movement in the walls, safety hazards or a faulty roof, to name a few.
It is usually carried out before you exchange sale contracts so you can identify any problems with the property which, if left unchecked, could prove costly to repair.
