POLICIES AND APPOINTMENT TERMS
- Property Access & Readiness
The property must be fully prepared and accessible at the agreed appointment time. No tradespeople, cleaning staff, or personal belongings should be present during the inspection. If a clerk cannot safely or effectively complete the report due to ongoing works or obstruction, the appointment may be cancelled and a cancellation fee applied. - Inspection Scope & Limitations
Reports are purely visual assessments. Descriptions of items (such as pine, oak, chrome, or silver) refer strictly to visual appearance and colour, not material authenticity. Clerks do not provide valuations, structural assessments, or repair cost estimates. Locked spaces, lofts, and outbuildings without safe access will not be inspected. - Appliance & Utility Testing
Testing of electrical appliances, heating installations, boilers, and gas fittings is restricted strictly to visual checks or power indicator verification where safe and reachable. Full operational safety or efficiency testing is not conducted. - Cancellations & Waiting Time
Cancellations made on the same day as the scheduled inspection incur a 50% fee of the total booking cost.
A waiting charge of £20 applies if a clerk is delayed by more than 15 minutes waiting for access or keys. - Surcharges
Appointments scheduled on Sundays or official UK Bank Holidays carry a £40 surcharge.
Any applicable Low Emission Zone fees will be itemised and added to the invoice.
