Our Landlord Services
Below is an overview of the professional inspection services we provide for landlords and letting professionals.
Dilapidation Surveys
Our Dilapidation Surveys help landlords identify damage, non-compliant changes, or deficiencies in the property at the end of a lease. These inspections are essential when determining liability and assessing costs that may be attributed to the tenant.

End of Tenancy Surveys
At the end of a tenancy, our End of Tenancy Surveys provide an unbiased evaluation of the property’s condition, comparing it with the move-in report. This supports fair and transparent decision-making.
Our reports include:
✔ Clear comparison with the original condition report
✔ Photographic and written evidence
✔ Identification of tenant damage versus natural wear
✔ Recommendations for repairs or maintenance
This reporting ensures clarity for all parties and helps avoid disputes.
