RennovEN Certified: Property Inspection
New flat quality certification at possession
Before you accept possession from the builder, get an independent quality inspection, snag list and certificate for your new flat.
Possession is the moment to get builder defects on record. Once you move in and start interiors, it becomes hard to prove what was there from day one.
RennovEN Certified inspects your new flat at possession, documents every defect for your builder, and certifies the flat once the issues are fixed.
Signs you need this
- Your builder has offered possession
- You suspect hollow tiles or seepage
- You want defects documented before interiors
- You can’t judge finishing quality yourself
The RennovEN promise
- 10-year warranty on all works
- Itemised pricing, approved before work begins
- One accountable team across every trade
- Residential specialists — homes only
Diagnosis
Why it happens
Fast-track finishing
Large projects finish many flats quickly, and quality varies.
Untested waterproofing
Bathrooms and balconies may not be flood-tested.
Defect liability window
Builder obligations are easier to enforce with early, documented evidence.
