Common Questions
Useful answers before you get in touch.
What does an inventory report include?
A professional inventory report provides a detailed written and photographic record of a property’s condition, fixtures, fittings and contents. It serves as an impartial point of reference throughout the tenancy and supports fair assessment of any changes at check-out.
What happens during a mid-term inspection?
Mid-term inspections help landlords and agents monitor the condition of their property while it is occupied. The inspection can highlight maintenance requirements, signs of damage or misuse, and any issues affecting the property's condition, allowing concerns to be addressed at an early stage.
What does an independent damp survey involve?
An independent damp survey involves a thorough assessment of the property to identify the likely causes of damp, mould and excess moisture. As an ABBE Level 3 qualified Damp and Condensation Surveyor, Natalie combines visual inspection with the use of specialist diagnostic equipment to build a clearer understanding of how the building is performing. Depending on the property and the issues reported, investigations may include moisture profiling, thermal imaging, temperature and humidity measurements, airflow assessments using a vane anemometer, hygrometer readings, and surface and sub-surface moisture testing. Where appropriate, salt analysis may also be used to assist in distinguishing between different moisture mechanisms. By considering building construction, occupancy patterns, ventilation, heating, environmental conditions and moisture sources, the survey aims to identify the most likely cause of the problem rather than simply focusing on the visible symptoms. The result is an impartial, evidence-based report with practical recommendations and no remedial works sold.
Is condensation always a sign of rising damp?
No. Condensation, penetrating moisture and ground-related damp have different potential causes. An assessment should investigate the evidence before reaching conclusions.
Do I need a damp survey if there is no visible damp?
Not necessarily. A survey may be useful where there are persistent odours, recurring condensation, historic moisture concerns or questions arising during a property purchase.
