Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections in Fife: Know Before You Buy

Don’t Buy Blind — Protect Your Investment

Buying a new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. But what if the roof — one of the most critical (and expensive!) parts of the property — has hidden issues? Our pre-purchase roof inspections in Fife help homeowners make informed, confident decisions before they commit.

What is a Pre-Purchase Roof Inspection?

A pre-purchase roof inspection is a detailed check of the property’s entire roofing system before contracts are signed. Our experts look at every element, from tiles and flashing to guttering and underlay condition, and provide a full photographic report for your records.

What’s Included in Our Roof Survey Report?

  • High-resolution photographs of all roof surfaces
  • Inspection of tiles, slates, ridges, valleys, and flashings
  • Gutter and downpipe assessment
  • Chimney and roofline structure inspection
  • Notes on wear and tear, immediate repairs needed, and potential future issues
  • Clear, easy-to-read condition summary

Why Homebuyers Across Fife Choose Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections

Many general home surveys only glance at the roof from ground level. Hidden damage can cost £££ in future repairs — or worse, a full replacement! Our specialist inspections give buyers:

  • Negotiating power with sellers
  • Peace of mind before moving day
  • Accurate budgeting for future maintenance
  • Protection from nasty surprises after purchase

When Should You Book a Roof Inspection?

Ideally, once your offer is accepted but before completion — giving you time to make fully informed decisions. We can also help sellers provide reassurance to potential buyers by offering pre-listing roof inspections!
