When holding a property inspection ensure that you:

  • Find out who you are dealing with: ask for a name and contact phone number prior to the inspection time.
  • Ring the number to check if it is legitimate and to confirm the appointment.
  • Before you hold an inspection:
  • Ensure you have a friend or family member with you at the property.
  • If you are unable to have someone attend with you let a friend or family member know you are holding a property inspection and that you will call them once the inspection has concluded.
  • Give friends or family the name, contact number and any personal details you have received from the buyer.
  • If in doubt about a buyer, don't rush into an inspection or a sale.
