Single Inspection Report
What is a Single Inspection Report?
A Single Inspection Report is a detailed assessment carried out by a qualified Chartered Surveyor on behalf of the Claimant. These reports follow Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) and are often known as:
Part 35 Compliant Reports
Expert Witness Reports
The report includes the Surveyor’s independent, professional opinion on the type, extent, and cause of disrepair found within the property. It also outlines the recommended remedial works required to restore the property to a safe, habitable condition.
Alongside the report, a Scott Schedule (Schedule of Repairs) is provided. This document gives a clear, itemised list of all defects identified, including the estimated costs associated with each repair.
