Vacant unit inspection in Kenya
Inspect vacant units and report visible condition without claiming a technical survey.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional vacant-unit observation service: make three authorized visits in one month to an empty two-bedroom flat and report visible changes across five zones: living room, bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and entrance. Deliver dated photographs and an exception log. The word inspection describes a limited visual walkthrough only; exclude building survey, structural diagnosis, electrical/gas testing, security patrol, valuation and a guarantee that concealed leaks or intrusions will be found. The owner/agent must establish lawful access and genuine vacancy before visits.
Who is the first customer?
