FREE Peer Review: Critical Support for Pre-Purchase Decisions
Our FREE peer review service is especially valuable for pre-purchase decisions, offering buyers, agents, and vendors assurance by thoroughly reviewing existing building reports from other inspectors for residential homes and commercial buildings. We assess the report’s accuracy, methodology and the inspector’s comments and qualifications, followed by a detailed phone call to discuss our findings. We then provide a scope and quote for further investigation, starting with a non-invasive inspection to confirm or disprove the existing report and, where needed, an invasive investigation with a full report to ensure clarity and confidence. This service helps avoid costly surprises, supports fair purchase negotiations, and streamlines sales for agents and vendors.
- For Buyers: Make informed pre-purchase decisions with confidence.
- For Agents: Ensure report reliability to close deals faster for homes or commercial properties. Attract Serious Buyers: Transparent reports assure buyers, speeding up offers. Minimise Surprises: Identify issues early to avoid deal-breaking discoveries. Support Vendor Confidence: Equip vendors with clear insights to price and market effectively.

- How It Works: Submit your report using the Peer Review Request Form, and we’ll review it at no cost, followed by a phone call to discuss our findings and provide a scope and quote for further investigation if needed.

- Invasive building inspections are generally carried out internally and investigate inside the building structure. We generally only need to make small holes for access. 2mm for driven probs, 5mm for core samples and 1.5cm for endoscope cameras.
- Invasive testing uses specialist equipment like endoscope cameras or moisture probes and core sample collection.
- Destructive inspections involve removing wall coverings internally, if possible, to check for the existence of and/or spread of any hidden damage. This allows us to complete detailed reports and provide a scope of works for repairs, remediation and improvements.
