Specific Defect Report
A Specific Defect Report is a focused inspection of a particular issue within a property, providing clear advice on the nature of the problem, its likely cause and recommended remedial action.
This service is ideal where a specific concern has been identified and requires professional assessment before proceeding further.
What the report includes
The inspection focuses on the identified issue and may include:
• Assessment of the defect and its severity
• Identification of likely causes
• Advice on necessary repairs or further investigation
• Practical guidance on next steps
The report is concise, clear and focused on providing the information you need to make an informed decision.
Common issues we assess
• Dampness and moisture-related issues
• Cracking and potential structural movement
• Roofing defects and water ingress
• Timber defects and decay
• Insulation and condensation problems
If you have a specific concern not listed above, we can tailor the inspection accordingly
When is a Specific Defect Report appropriate?
This service is particularly useful when:
• A survey has identified an issue requiring further investigation
• You have concerns about a specific defect before purchase
• You require professional advice before undertaking repairs
It provides a targeted, cost-effective way to obtain expert advice without commissioning a full survey.
If you have concerns about a specific issue, we can provide clear and practical advice to help you understand the problem and decide on the next steps.
