We start at the front of the property and cover the entire external including gardens, we then go through the property from the hall to the bedrooms. We will inspect the attic as long as there is access provided in the form of an attic ladder/stairs. We do not use a check list as we view each house individually with an open mind. All flaws, unfinished items, poorly finished items or damaged items are listed for inclusion in the snag report. We check all windows and doors are closing and opening fully and properly, we even check for scratches on the glass. Provided the heating has been commissioned we will request the heating be turned on along with the hot water to check all is in working order.
