Re-inspection before you accept a Deanside home

How a short return visit confirms the builder actually fixed the list.

In short: A defect list only matters if it is fixed. The re-inspection is how you know.

Why go back

Builders work through PCI lists quickly before handover. Some items are fixed well, some partly, and some are missed.

Item by item

We take the original report and check each item, marking it fixed, partly fixed or outstanding.

Before you sign

The best time is after the builder says the list is done and before you sign the handover form.

What stays outstanding

Anything left goes back to the builder in writing, with the original report attached.
