Solid Start owner Ian is fully insured and registered with the VBA as a building inspector.

This is important as the building inspection industry is unfortunately not regulated. Some ‘building inspection’ companies may offer ‘building consultancy’ with very little experience or knowledge to deliver your inspection.

Unless they are a registered building inspector they are not qualified to perform building or pre-purchase inspections.
