The inspection mindset
Professional inspection experience. A new direction.
Gregg currently works in the rail industry carrying out safety-critical structural examinations, where defects have to be identified, accurately recorded and clearly reported.
“The same methodical approach used in safety-critical inspection, applied to your new home.”
That means a careful, evidence-based approach rather than a quick walk around with a tick list. Every inspection is visual and non-invasive, with limitations clearly explained.

FAQ
A few things worth knowing.
When should I have a new-build inspection?
Pre-completion is often useful where access is available before completion, while a post-completion inspection can document issues after you have moved in. The appropriate timing depends on the stage of your purchase and the access provided.
Is the inspection invasive?
No. The service is a visual and non-invasive inspection of accessible areas. No destructive opening-up is carried out.
Will you check every building regulation?
No. This service is focused on visible defects, workmanship, finishes, incomplete work and other observable issues within the agreed inspection scope. Specialist or regulatory investigations may require an appropriately qualified professional.
What happens if you find a problem?
The issue is documented with a clear description, location and photographic evidence where appropriate, so you have a useful record to raise with the developer.
Do you work independently of developers?
Yes. Gregg Lewis Property Inspections is an independent inspection service.
