Extending, converting, letting: an existing house needs supervision too, with the same risks as a new build, on a smaller scale.

You are planning works
Adding a storey or a room, a swimming pool, a boundary wall, renovation, bringing the house up to standard before letting: the works package covers projects of about three months or less, from the quote to handover. Beyond that, monthly or stage-by-stage monitoring takes over.

Your house is let
Is your property occupied by a tenant and you cannot check its condition from abroad? Bon Œil visits it for you and tells you, with photos, what condition it is really in. The tenant is given notice of the visit in advance, in line with the lease.

A visual check
This is a visual check: it does not replace an electrical or waterproofing survey with measurements by a specialist, which we recommend if there is any doubt.
Photos only show the building, never the tenant or their belongings. Bon Œil observes and informs you: the relationship with your tenant, the rent and repairs remain managed by you or your agency.
