Pre-Purchase Heating & Plumbing Surveys FAQs
Helpful answers before you start.
For advice about a specific property or system, contact Palco directly.
Ask a questionIs this the same as a full structural survey?
No. It is a heating and plumbing inspection within an agreed scope. It does not replace a building survey, structural report, drain survey or destructive investigation.
Can every pipe and hidden defect be checked?
No. Concealed, inaccessible or inactive components may not be inspectable. The scope and limitations are confirmed before the visit.
When should I arrange the survey?
Arrange it while you still have time to consider the findings before committing to the purchase. Access must be agreed with the seller or agent.
