Pre-purchase inspection
Before you buy, have it checked
A disputed plot or a badly built house is discovered too late. We visit the property, check the boundaries and the paperwork with our partners, and tell you what we find, before you pay.

Third-party fees, at cost
Some steps can only be carried out by authorised professionals or government offices. We coordinate them for you, and they are passed on at cost, with no margin, against receipts:
- a joint boundary survey by an approved partner surveyor, if needed;
- official fees, such as the statement of charges and real rights from the OTR.
