Primary inspection
Pre-Completion Inspection
Carried out before legal completion, while you still hold every piece of leverage with your developer.
Why you need it
Once you complete, your leverage drops sharply. Before completion, outstanding work is your developer's problem rather than yours.
What it gives you
A clear, prioritised list of what should be resolved before you sign — recognised under the New Homes Quality Code.
Why choose us
Local to Edinburgh and the Lothians, familiar with the developments here, and able to work to short completion timescales.
