When should Berry Hill Vale buyers arrange an inspection?
Before completion: You can enquire early, but an inspection before legal completion is only possible where the developer allows access and your purchase arrangements permit it.
After collecting the keys: Many buyers arrange their inspection soon after moving in, when access is straightforward and issues can be recorded promptly.
During the defects period: A later inspection may help document remaining concerns. Check your own developer and warranty documents for applicable time limits.
Before booking
