Domestic EPC

Commercial EPC

  • Upto 100m² - £250

    101m² - 200m² - £350

    201m² - 300m² - £500

  • All commercial properties require an Energy Performance Certificate when being sold or let.

Pre-Completion (Snagging) Inspection Report

  • £350 for any property type

  • A pre-completion inspection, often referred to as a snagging inspection, is a thorough review of a newly built or renovated property before the final handover from the builder or developer to the buyer or owner. The main purpose of this inspection is to identify any defects, incomplete work, or cosmetic issues that need to be corrected before the property is considered complete.

    Importance of a Snagging Inspection:

    • Quality Assurance: Ensures that the property meets the expected standards of quality and workmanship.

    • Avoid Future Costs: Identifying and rectifying defects before completion can save the buyer from incurring repair costs after moving in.

    • Legal and Financial Protection: The snagging inspection can protect the buyer's rights and ensure that the final payment is only made when the property is in the agreed condition.

    In summary, a pre-completion (snagging) inspection is a critical step in the property purchasing process that helps ensure the buyer receives a property free of defects and ready for occupation.

Legionella Risk Assessment

  • Domestic property: £150

    Commercial :

The formal term for the process is "in-service inspection & testing of electrical equipment". Testing involves a visual inspection of the equipment and that any flexible power cables are in good condition, and also where required, verification of earthing (grounding) continuity, and a test of the soundness of insulation between the current carrying parts, and any exposed metal that may be touched.

Thermal Imaging Reports

  • Contact for pricing

  • A thermal imaging survey, also known as a thermal inspection or thermographic survey, utilizes infrared technology to detect and visualize temperature variations across the surfaces of a building. Here are several reasons why getting a thermal imaging survey can be beneficial:

    • Detecting Heat Loss

    • Identifying Moisture Intrusion

    • Locating Electrical Issues

    • Inspecting HVAC Systems

    • Detecting Building Defects

    • Assessing Roof Conditions

    • Non-Destructive Testing

    Overall, a thermal imaging survey provides valuable insights into the thermal behavior and condition of a building, helping homeowners, building managers, and property investors make informed decisions, prioritize maintenance efforts, and improve energy efficiency.
