Single Defect Report

A Single Defect Report is a focused property inspection and written assessment that examines one specific problem or concern within a building. It’s carried out by a chartered surveyor or qualified building professional to identify the cause of the issue, assess its severity, and recommend appropriate remedies. Unlike a full building survey, it concentrates solely on the area or defect in question, offering expert insight without unnecessary cost or detail.

Purpose

The main aim of a Single Defect Report is to provide a clear, professional opinion on one particular issue. It helps property owners, buyers, or landlords understand the cause, impact, and urgency of a problem so that informed decisions can be made about repairs or negotiations.
