Part knowledgeable, part lazy and part useless.
Part knowledgeable, part lazy and part useless.
The point of view is of a person that has little knowledge about buildings and that is the reason asking for a technical inspection.
The review is based on more than 10 technicians viewing the house and making a comparison between them.
The technician that came to inspect the house seemed knowledgeable and we learned a few general things about the obvious visible damages present.
- wooden window frames being rotten, visible, but how bad.
- rusted pipes, visible, but how bad
The part lazy and part useless:
- Rotten floor: The technician said the floor was good in the toilet and hallway, but when we pointed out that the floor is not flat and seems to be broken, we had to ask 2 twice before they went under the floor to inform us that it rotted away and needs to be replaced
- Lazy investigating: The technician expected that everything was well, until we explicitly asked them to go under the floor and check them
- Leaking roof: The celeings were stained in a few places. After asking specifically for a test, the technician tested the ceiling and one of the test came as an active leakage.
- Asbestos visible: The technician told us about asbestos on the roof, but when he entered the storage room and said it was good...that was completely wrong. Later we found out that there were asbestos pieces all over the place and the room could not be used unless cleaned by a professional company.
- Radiators not working: They missed that several radiators were not working.
- and more problems that if we did not point out, the technician would have said the house is in very good condition.
The costs mentioned in their report are based only on repairing an element and do not include dismantling and cleaning.
When we asked Perfectkeur for explantation regarding the report and the missed items, we were quickly dismissed and pointed to the find print/ disclaimers.
Since they were booked by the agent that we had, we followed them based on trust.
Given their behavior and the experience that we had with them, I am giving them 2 stars since we got some information.
Dear reader,
If you came this far and you are looking for a company to assess the state of a house, I suggest that you first read the fine print/ disclaimers before booking a house inspection.
I personally would not recommend Perfectkeur for any inspection work.
