Choices – a brief outline of each Inspection Product . . . . . .

Note – Survey Products can be requested with any extras – the latter would largely be under a separate contract within a separate document.

Note – Don’t forget that we do not charge for an initial chat and product/fee quotation.

“ADVICE AND A CHAT” TO REASSURE YOU

Without wanting to insult anyone, or be at all secretive, this cannot be answered “just like that”. It takes time for us to understand what you need and can afford.

Things that cause our fees to vary include:-

• Property size (eg: gross floor area).
• Property type (eg: it is traditionally designed, is it detached, is it “system built”, is it registered defective under the Defective Premises Act, etc….).
• Form of construction (eg: modern or Period timber frame? Cob? Metal framed? Traditional cavity or solid walls, etc…).
• Are there extensive outbuildings?
• Where is it?
• Do you require basic survey products or additional services for specific reasons?
• Do you want us to include/arrange Services tests by Engineers?

We do have a Fee Matrix and this forms the benchmark for our bespoke fee quotation analysis and is not intended to be a rigid fee structure – each and every client is different and has differing expectations!

The best thing to do is to call us for a quotation – this starts with filling out the CONTACT FORM opposite (provide us with at least some basic data EG: 4 bedroom detached house – about 100 years old – value around £500,000 – Building Survey with Valuation opinion needed).

All services (and fee quotations) are subject to Surveyor verification and “conditions”. This is to protect both parties and provides the client with the comfort of knowing that they can sue us if we are unprofessional and miss something.

Therefore all referrals and instructions are confirmed in writing before we start our services. The documents used are mailed or e-mailed to the client (we prefer to use e-mail for the increased speed of communication).

A selection of the main documents currently used by PROinspect, including details of how to complain, are attached (see separate pages).

Required Customer Information

PROinspect and our customers must communicate and agree at least the following data and terms:

1. Client name and full address (if more than one person then multiple data is needed).
2. Home, work and mobile call details of each client.
3. Preferred E-mail address of each client.
4. Full address of home to be inspected (including post code).
5. Home access method and details (typically an Estate Agents full details).
6. If a home HIP exists – the full reference number of that document in sufficient detail to allow us to download it.
7. If the client knows what survey product they need then please provide the NAME of that product OR tell us what is worrying you about the home.
8. What extras to the standard service level are needed?
9. Fee agreement – the sum, how and when it will be paid etc… We usually require full payment before we submit our Report or findings to the customer.
10. The urgency of the transaction (do you have any pre-agreed deadlines?).
11. Full details of your solicitor (including call number, name and personal e-mail address).

PROinspect will then e-mail or mail our verification, business Terms, product scheme, Conditions plus fee Invoice.

We will contact the Agent or Home Owner and do all that is necessary to inspect the premises and to report to you. Once you have our verified Fee Quotation and Terms/Conditions, and have indicated your full agreement o our service(s), then we do everything leaving you free of the stress and worry of having to organize anything.
