House Defect Checklist
room by room, for VP, DLP, subsale or renovation

Walk the unit with this checklist on your phone. Pick the property type and stage, tick each defect you find, mark how serious it is and add a note. You get a numbered defect list to copy or print — and a short summary you can WhatsApp to us to book an inspection. Everything stays in your browser.

Defect list

No defects ticked yet. Tick an item when you find a defect.

Not a professional inspection, a quotation or legal advice — a checklist to record what you can see and test.


How to use the checklist

Choose the property type and stage first. Landed homes add an external and roof section; the number of bathrooms and bedrooms sets how many room cards appear. Work through the rooms in order, then the whole-unit sections: windows and doors, electrical, plumbing, walls and floors.

Tick an item only when you find a defect, and pick a severity: urgent for anything active or unsafe, such as a leak or a dead RCCB; report / fix for defects the developer, seller or contractor should put right; cosmetic for finish issues. Add a short note with the location — “left of the window, floor level” — and take a photo on your phone.

The tests in the list come from our guides: the pour, flow and meter tests from checking for water damage at handover, the tap test from popped and hollow tiles, and the RCCB test button from electrical safety inspection.

After you finish

Copy puts the full numbered list on your clipboard to paste into an email or letter; Print gives a clean page you can save as a PDF. For a new home, send the list to the developer in writing and keep proof that you sent it. The WhatsApp button sends us a short summary — property type, stage, how many defects per area and the top items — so we can quote an inspection.

This checklist is not a professional inspection. It helps you record what you can see and test yourself; some defects, such as hidden leaks, need tools and experience to find. Book a defect inspection with ClickBina and we can also quote to fix what we find.

Common Questions

What should I check at key collection?
Work room by room: doors and windows, walls and ceilings, floor tiles, wet areas with a pour test, every floor trap, every tap and power point, the RCCB test button and a water-meter test with everything off. The checklist lists each item in that order.
How do I send the defect list to the developer?
In writing, within the DLP, which runs 24 months from vacant possession. Use Copy or Print to get the full numbered list, attach your photos and keep proof that you sent it.
Does the checklist work for a subsale house?
Yes. Choose the subsale stage. The HDA’s DLP does not cover a subsale purchase, so use the list to ask the seller to repair, reduce the price or disclose before you commit.
Is my checklist saved?
It is saved only in this browser on this device, so you can close the page and come back. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you press the WhatsApp button.
Is this a professional inspection?
No. It records what you can see and test yourself. Hidden leaks and some electrical faults need tools and experience; ClickBina can inspect the unit and quote to fix the defects.
What goes into the WhatsApp summary?
The property type, the stage, your VP date if you entered it, how many defects you ticked per area and the top items, starting with the urgent ones. The full list stays with you to copy or print.
