Short answer
A free CribCheck walkthrough records what anyone can see, hear and smell on site and produces a condition score with indicative repair estimates. A booked professional inspection adds instruments: moisture readings, electrical testing, water sampling, waterproofing assessment, detailed plumbing diagnosis and measured room sizes, reviewed before release.
The free walkthrough
- Guided checks, one area at a time, in about 15 to 20 minutes for a flat.
- Optional photographs as supporting evidence.
- A condition score, concerns by severity and an indicative repair cost range.
The professional inspection
- Instrument checks you cannot do yourself.
- Measured room sizes and furniture fit.
- Severity ratings and repair estimates reviewed by a second person before release.
- A report you can put in front of a landlord, agent or seller.
You book CribCheck, not an individual inspector. CribCheck assigns the professional who attends and remains responsible for the report.
Seeing cracks, damp or signs of old repairs?
Don't guess. A CribCheck-trained inspector can test what you cannot, and you get a reviewed report before you negotiate or pay.
