Frequently Asked Questions - Pre-Purchase Inspections

Should I arrange an inspection before signing the CPCV?

Ideally, the inspection should take place before you are committed to the purchase, giving you time to consider the findings. The timing of the CPCV should be discussed with your lawyer.

What happens if the inspection identifies a problem?

The findings are explained in your inspection report, with recommendations on repairs or further investigation where needed.

Can an inspection identify problems that aren't obvious during a viewing?

Yes. An inspection can identify visible defects and signs of issues such as damp, moisture, leaks or structural concerns that may not be noticed during a normal property viewing.
