Usually less than a week from first contact to having the signed certificate in your hands. Here's each step of the process and what can speed it up or slow it down.
I can usually offer you a visit within a few days of getting in touch. I work directly, with no intermediaries or agencies in between, so my schedule tends to be freer than with processes that go through several hands before reaching me.
For a typical-sized home or premises, the visual inspection is usually done within an hour or less. I check roofs, downpipes, tanks and other elements that may contain asbestos, with no invasive works or sampling, so it doesn't disrupt your day more than necessary.
Within the following days after the visit. I write up the technical report carefully so it's well documented, and deliver it to you digitally, ready to present at the notary or attach to the rental contract.
Book a visit →Counting from your first message to having the signed certificate, the whole process is usually resolved in under a week. If you let me know you're in a hurry — for example, a notary signing that's already dated — I try to adjust the visit and delivery to arrive on time.
Letting me know your deadline in advance (signing, handover of keys, start of the contract), having easy access to all areas of the property on the day of the visit, and confirming the appointment with enough notice for me to organise it.
Larger properties or ones with several locations to check, hard-to-access areas, or needing to coordinate the visit with current tenants who have their own schedule. In these cases I let you know a more realistic timeline from the start.
In most cases, yes, especially if you contact me with a few days' notice. The sooner you tell me the date, the better I can organise the visit and the report delivery so it arrives with time to spare.
Tell me your deadline →Yes, and it's a good idea if you already know you'll be selling or renting soon. Having it ready ahead of time saves you any last-minute rush and lets you show it from the very start to interested buyers or tenants.
