Moisture near washroom
Damp readings near the shower mixing wall with early grout failure — invisible until tiles start popping.
Fix: Re-grout and re-seal the shower zone before possession.

The issues hiding in plain sight.
A few examples from real inspection checklists. Most of these are invisible during a normal property visit — and expensive after one.
HighModerateLiving room
Hollow flooring tiles
Six tiles sound hollow on tapping — a sign of poor bonding that cracks under furniture load.
Fix: Ask the builder to re-lay hollow tiles; verify with a re-inspection.
ModerateBedroom
Window sealing gaps
Daylight visible through the window frame edges — dust, rain and noise will all find their way in.
Fix: Re-apply silicone sealant around all outer frames.
ModerateKitchen
Sink drainage slope
Water pools at the far end of the sink counter instead of draining — a levelling defect.
Fix: Re-level the counter or adjust the sink seating.
ModerateElectrical
Loose socket faceplates
Three sockets sit loose in their boxes with visible gaps — a finishing and safety issue.
Fix: Secure and re-test every socket in the flat.
HighTerrace
Grouting gaps and water slope
Cracked grouting and an uneven water slope near the drain outlet — the classic source of ceiling seepage below.
Fix: Re-grout and correct the water slope, then flood-test the terrace.
