Important sample-report notice: This page explains the type of information that may appear in a report. It is an illustrative example, not an inspection certificate or a report for an actual customer property. Property-specific observations are recorded only after a site visit.

What a Home Inspection Report Covers

The report organises visible observations by area so the property owner can understand the condition noted during the visit and decide which items need attention first.

Interior

Walls & Ceilings

Visible cracks, paint peeling, ceiling stains, damp patches, surface deterioration and areas that may need further assessment.

Waterproofing

Bathrooms & Wet Areas

Visible tile-joint gaps, missing grout, sealant gaps, leakage signs around fixtures and dampness near adjoining walls.

Exterior

Terrace & External Walls

Accessible parapet cracks, open joints, surface damage, water-entry risk points and visible deterioration of exposed finishes.

Services

Plumbing & Leakage Signs

Visible pipe connections, fixture leakage signs and areas where additional plumbing tests may be recommended.

Documentation

Photos & Locations

Photographs with area labels and notes to help identify where each observation was made.

Recommendations

Priority & Next Steps

Findings grouped by urgency, with suggested follow-up checks or repair consultation where appropriate.

Example Report Structure

A completed report may use a layout similar to the example below. The entries shown are examples of report fields, not findings from a real property.

LimitationsAccess restrictions, concealed areas not opened and tests not performedExplain what the inspection could and could not confirm

How Findings Are Presented

Each finding should identify the location, describe the visible condition and include supporting photographs where available. A recommendation may call for repair, monitoring or specialist testing, depending on the evidence gathered.

  • Clear room or area identification
  • Photographs linked to written observations
  • Priority labels to help plan follow-up work
  • Repair or further-check recommendations where justified

Thermal Imaging & Moisture Checks

Where suitable, a thermal camera and moisture-checking tools can help identify temperature patterns or areas that need closer investigation. Results should be interpreted alongside visual observations and other checks.

Important limitation: A thermal pattern alone does not confirm the exact source of water ingress or establish a calibrated moisture percentage. Additional testing may be required to verify the cause.

What a Home Inspection Report Usually Includes

Where reports are useful

Reports are commonly used before buying a resale flat or house, when planning waterproofing or repair work, for insurance or builder discussions, and when a water leak or dampness problem keeps coming back. See our pre-purchase home inspection, dampness inspection and concealed pipe leakage inspection services, or book an inspection.

Will my report look exactly like the sample?
