How quickly can you inspect a rented property in Poole?+

Poole is our home base. We confirm a date that works for the landlord, agent and tenant.

What legislation applies to landlord damp obligations?+

We do not provide legal advice, but our inspection considers property condition, ventilation and defects relevant to current housing standards.

Do you work with managing agents?+

Yes. We provide inspections for individual landlords, managing agents and housing providers.

Is the specialist survey really free?+

Yes — completely. We offer every homeowner and property manager across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire a complimentary specialist survey at no charge. This includes an on-site inspection, written findings, a clear scope of any recommended work, and an honest referral if the problem falls outside what we do. You pay nothing for the survey. You only pay if you commission the remedial work, and you are under no obligation to do so. The reason we do this is straightforward: we believe in diagnosing the problem before recommending a treatment. A proper inspection takes time, and we'd rather invest that time up front than quote a solution before we've understood the cause.
