A remote property inspection should allow you to ask questions and direct the camera. A short video that shows only the best angle may help you discover a listing, but it is not enough to make a high-value decision.
Before the call
Ask for the exact address or estate, the inspection date, the person conducting the inspection, the current asking or guide price, and the documents that are available for lawyer review. Prepare questions in advance so the call is not just a tour of attractive rooms.
For land, inspect the context
- Show the route from a recognisable road.
- Show the entrance, estate roads and drainage.
- Walk the boundaries or plot markers where possible.
- Show neighbouring development and vacant areas.
- Explain what is physically visible versus what is only stated in documents.
For a completed home, inspect the systems
Ask to see the roof line, ceilings, walls, floors, windows, plumbing points, electrical distribution board, water source, drainage, parking, access road and compound slope. Ask the inspector to show ordinary areas and corners, not only the rooms prepared for marketing.
Keep inspection separate from legal verification
An inspection can show physical condition and location. It cannot prove that a seller owns the property or that a document is authentic. Your lawyer should independently review the legal title, seller authority, survey information and transfer route before major payment.
Ask for a written follow-up
After the call, request a short written summary of what was shown, any unanswered questions, the current price, the next verification step and the person responsible for supplying documents. Keep the summary with the video and listing details.
