Why you need it and how we can help you

What is a basic pre-purchase inspection? (Mobile inspections are available on request)

  • An experienced assessor will inspect the house side of your intended purchase at our premises. 
  • The assessor will do a 5-point examination of a caravan covering the most costly repair issues, such as structural issues often not identified during a WOF, because they only inspect the tyres, bearings, lights and hitch; we will do a moisture ingress inspection, looking for potential leaks and an inspection of the suspension. We do a different inspection with motorhomes, looking for moisture ingress, possible leaks and signs of historic repairs. It is a visual inspection that should highlight issues relating to the interior and exterior conditions.
  • This helps you identify potential problems, defects, or safety issues affecting your purchase decision or future use. These inspections generate a brief report indicating significant matters you should know. If you want a proper full inspection, you should book the full pre-purchase inspection with a report.
  • This assessment is not a Mechanical inspection. Mechanical inspections cover issues related to the engine and running gear, which requires different skills and knowledge. We recommend having a separate inspection involving the mechanical side of your purchase with a third party like the AA 

Why do you need a pre-purchase inspection?

  • Buying a motorhome or caravan is a significant investment; you want to ensure you get what you pay for.
  • A basic pre-purchase inspection can save money, time, and hassle by avoiding costly repairs, breakdowns, or legal disputes later.
  • Suppose you are confident that you want to buy a vehicle. In that case, the full pre-purchase inspection can give you greater peace of mind, confidence, and an idea of what additional costs you might have later and a report that can be used as bargaining power when negotiating the purchase with the seller.
