    Report content and use

Local preparation

Before booking in Yuen Long

Yuen Long town centre

For Yuen Long Town Centre buildings or phased estates, identify street number, block and unit. Obtain access permission for occupied units and explain fixed furniture and operable retained fittings.

Tin Shui Wai

For Tin Shui Wai estates, give the actual building name, not only the estate. Distinguish new handover from second-hand possession and check the appropriate equipment and defect-submission records.

Kam Tin

For Kam Tin village houses, houses or estates, give street number, floor and entrance and explain any roof or garden access. Confirm usable inspection area and stairs for multi-storey homes before booking.

Pat Heung

For Pat Heung, give village, street number and actual unit floor rather than only a landmark. Explain utilities and accessible unit areas; ancillary land and external work need separate scope confirmation.

Hung Shui Kiu

For Hung Shui Kiu developments or village houses, use formal names and street numbers. If work is unfinished, list disconnected equipment and incomplete areas; an interim visit is not a completion inspection.

Lok Ma Chau

For Lok Ma Chau, provide the accessible address, entrance and permission and explain any travel or registration restrictions. Confirm actual access for the requested date rather than assuming it from the place name.

Inspection and follow-up

What to do after inspection

Organise delivery and work records

Prepare the quotation, drawings, equipment models and agreed changes.

Follow up by issue location

After receiving the electronic report without photos, organise findings by location and item number and request an itemised response from the developer, owner or contractor. Your own photos can support your follow-up records.

Recheck the repaired locations

Confirm repair progress and site conditions before checking the same locations. For a separately booked reinspection, send the recheck list and agree scope, availability and the separate fee first.

FAQ

Booking questions

What should I provide for post-renovation inspection at Yuen Long?

Provide the complete building, phase/block, floor and unit, usable floor area and preferred date. Explain the handover or renovation stage, utilities and access permission.

Can inspection take place before the works are complete?

Explain completed and ongoing work first so timing and scope can be agreed. Disconnected equipment, uncured work and covered finishes may not be testable. Arrange basic cleaning and utilities and distinguish unfinished work from workmanship issues.

How should I use the report to request rectification?

Use report locations and item numbers to prepare a follow-up list and request an itemised response and repair schedule. Keep agreed scope changes and responses, then recheck the same locations after repair. A separately booked reinspection is chargeable.

How is the inspection fee calculated for Yuen Long?

The fee uses HK$4.5 per sq ft of usable floor area with area-tier minimum charges. Stairs cost HK$80 per floor; applicable location and optional water-jet test fees are separate. Send the full address to confirm the total quote.

When will I receive the report, and does it include photos?

The electronic report is normally issued on the next business day. It records issue locations and inspection results without photos. Owners follow up rectification with the developer or contractor; a separately booked reinspection is chargeable.
