Property Condition Reports in Dorset

Who Needs a Property Condition Report?

Whether you are an investor buying a property to rent out, a private homeowner wanting an audit before carrying out renovations, or a buyer needing an independent check of a structure before purchasing, this report is incredibly useful.

What We Inspect

Our property condition report is a cohesive audit that covers:

• Structural Movement & Masonry: We inspect for wall cracking, brickwork bowing, spalling bricks, and failing pointing.
• Water Ingress & Damp Risks: Inspection of guttering, chimneys, flashings, external floor levels, and water pipe configurations.
• Ventilation & Condensation: High humidity assessments, micro-climate measurements, extractor fan checks, and cold bridge scans.
• Timber Safety: Identification of active woodworm, damp-induced wet rot, dry rot, and joist rotting.

When to Choose this Instead of a Damp-Only Survey

Damp-only surveys have a narrow scope. Often, damp issues are directly caused by structural problems (like cracked brickwork or leaking roof tiles). A Property Condition Report looks at the whole building system, identifying these related defects in a single comprehensive assessment.

Practical Repair Guidance

Every highlighted defect is accompanied by photographic proof, a deep diagnostic explanation of why it occurred, and a construction-led specification on how to fix it cleanly. Our motto is: We inspect, diagnose, report, specify and repair.
