The best thing to do is to ensure that you leave no stone unturned and remember that the people inspecting are untalented with no particular skills and have taken the job because they are unsuited for skilled employment, they are in the main bitter passed over individuals who find it difficult to get a decent job and generally bear a grudge against the world which they take out on the occupants of the properties they inspect.:rotfl:
Thank you for that BLT you did make me laugh! I am trying very hard to give the 'inspectors' the benefit of the doubt, but going by your comments and our nightmare march in I think you may well be spot on! :eek:
I am sure that someone will be able to help you out once you give these details.

Will i have to return the garden to it's former mess when i move out? I have spent alot of time and effort into making it nice. also if i put down laminate flooring will i have to rip it out when i move?
Many thanks in advance
Leave the garden looking nice - the next occupant will appreciate it! RE the laminate flooring - not sure exactly what that is, but you definitely ought to discuss this at your pre-marchout (you have booked one, haven't you...?!!). If it is seen as an improvement then they'll let you keep it unless it might later require a complex repair for which there is no contract. Definitely one to discuss. As I said before, as long as you have a good pre-marchout (and then do what they discuss), then there should be no surprises on the day. Also it gives you time to argue about any disputes, such as a new floor, before the day itself.
We had a survey done recently and the guy doing it said it should be safety glass. I have a 2 year old and a dog.
The housing people say they have ran out of money for replacing my windows and doors, do you think I can push for it to be done, and who should I contact?
