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.

Hello, I’m Stuart Parrett. I am a truly independent, knowledgeable and experienced Chartered Surveyor and housing specialist. I am in the PEOPLE and HOMES Business where Information Discovery is all important.

I survey homes for faults and worth/value but it is not what I do but HOW that separates PROinspect from competitor surveyors.

THE HOUSE DOCTOR IS IN:

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

SOMETHING of VALUE for you —-

1-  COMING SOON – WATCH THIS SPACE – Inspection4 Ltd, a new way of instructing a residential Surveyor/Valuer, a new service level, a new concept; aimed at delivering prompt, targeted and impartial advice and opinion BUT staying with you through your complete association with any particular property. i4 will not “survey and go”: look on us as your in-house Property Adviser and Resource.

PROinspect Consultancy will be working in close association with Inspection4 Ltd and network of Chartered Surveyors, and others, throughout England. Those interested, if you are experienced, pro-active and commercially aware, should send a CV to Stuart Parrett at inspection4@proinspect.co.uk without delay.

2-  CONDENSATION SEASON IS UPON US – have you looked in the back of the wardrobe recently or in “that corner”?

Cold = drop in dew point = cold surfaces will attract condensate: Quick Fix – create airflows and reduce the amount of vapour in the air. Longer Term Fix = Raise the wall temperature by lining it with XXXX; properly kill off mould spores; introduce sensors that apply venting or temperature changes to the environment. Simple.

What often works is opening the window for as long as possible during and after sleeping/baths/showers/cooking (this removes water vapour that then cannot condense on your clothes and walls). You loose heat during this process and so you need to learn how to achieve these goals intelligently without icicles forming on your nose.

TheHouseSurveyor at YouTube will also deliver several important messages for those looking to purchase or those you wish to become Residential Surveyors and/or Valuers.

Those who have kindly provided testimonials for me say that I can be considered a safe pair of hands, somebody who is a real communicator and a provider of detailed and robust opinions.

Good reasons for using me in the central south coast area include that I take the time to listen to you and then help you make the right choice of survey product and have it completed at the right time. After this I genuinely communicate with you and don’t simply mail a report to you and that is it. No, I am always available for questions and meetings because you need to be re-assured your purchase is both a wise investment and you are not buying a problem.

I protect the biggest investment you’ll ever make in your life – your home – and I work with you every step of the way…..

I’ve brought together a lot of valuable information to help you organise property problems, alterations, private surveys and other services surrounding ownership, maintenance, sales, purchases and Expert Witness Reports.

• THE GOLDEN RULES OF SELF-PROTECTION DURING HOME BUYING =

1. When your “offer” has been accepted make sure you already have a loan deal secured in principle
2. Make sure you DO NOT agree to a combined Loan Valuation and Private Survey
3. Actually speak to a Surveyor (PROinspect down south) – do not accept an Assistant or a Secretary
4. Find out your Survey Product options, fee costs and the manner in dealing with any special concerns you have
5. Do not fall for quick deals or “linked” services often packaged by costly middlemen Agencies.

Our aim?

TO GENUINELY HELP ANYONE INVOLVED WITH PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS or WHO HAS PROBLEMS.

Why use PROinspect?

So what do we do that marks us out from our competitors?

1. We specialize in residential forms of property and always have done.
2. We complete ongoing training far above what is generally required in our profession.
3. We communicate with our clients: we need to know what drives any referral to us, what is worrying you, what you wish to achieve with/in the property, etc
4. We match the right survey product to the property type, known defects reported to us plus clients’ survey budget and expectations so our client receives the best option for their stated needs.
5. Before we inspect we complete a varied array of fact finding (internet and other database searches). This allows us to modify our On-Site Work-Sheets to include specific reference to potential adverse matters that may affect the home you are buying. By this method we can drill down to the nitty-gritty quicker and more accurately to our mutual advantage.
6. We use modern survey aids as and if required: we go beyond traditional cursory inspection means.
7. Where possible we always interview the sellers/occupiers and ask searching questions that may reveal latent defects and/or problems.
8. Back at the office we then complete any required further internet or other researches that our site inspection has shown us to be essential.
9. Finally the report is prepared with the specific client in mind – WE DO NOT SHOE-HORN DATA INTO A “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” REPORT.
10. After the client receives our report we don’t go to ground. If you need further advice and help we are available to you and at no extra charge.
