Understanding the issue
A general property survey may not examine every plumbing and heating component in operational detail. A focused inspection can provide additional information before purchase.
What to check
Useful checks can include visible pipework, heating operation, boiler information, hot-water arrangements, radiators and signs of leaks or defects within the inspection scope.
When to get advice
No non-invasive inspection can reveal every concealed problem, so the report should state limitations clearly.
This is general information, not a substitute for inspecting your property. Do not work on gas equipment or live electrical parts unless appropriately qualified. If there is immediate danger, call 999. If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, leave the affected area and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. Do not operate electrical switches or use naked flames.
