Inspection Types

The right inspection for every situation

Before you take handover or complete a purchase, an independent snagging inspection uncovers the defects developers and sellers would rather you didn't see — saving you significant money and stress.

New Build Snagging

Catch construction and finishing defects in newly built villas and apartments before they become your problem.

Pre-Handover Inspections

Independent inspection before you accept keys, so the developer fixes issues on their cost, not yours.

Resale Inspections

Know exactly what you're buying — a full condition report on resale properties before you commit.

Detailed Reporting

Every defect photographed, categorised and clearly described in a report you can hand straight to the developer.

Why It Matters

A small cost that saves you thousands

Developers and sellers won't always volunteer a property's flaws. An independent inspection puts the facts — and the leverage — in your hands.

Financial Protection

Defects fixed pre-handover are the developer's cost — not yours.

Full Visibility

Know the exact condition of your property before you commit.

Actionable Reporting

A clear, photographic report you can hand straight to the developer.
