Whether you are buying a narrowboat boat or you already own one it is important to understand its current condition. There can be underlying issues that need to be dealt with, even with brand-new boats, or you might be looking for an independent inspection before or after commissioning repairs or improvements.
We offer a range of professional inspections to suit your needs:
- Full Condition Inspection (Out of Water)
- Hull Condition Inspection (Out of Water)
- Insurance Condition Inspection (Out of Water)
- Valuation Certificate (In Water)
- Remote Viewing (In Water)
- RCR Consultancy and Assessment (In or Out of Water)
By commissioning your own survey from a professional surveyor it may help you:
- Decide whether to purchase a vessel or whether is it better to walk away
- Comply with your insurer’s requirements (for older boats)
- Decide whether to keep your boat or sell it
- Plan for future maintenance work
- Avoid unplanned expenses and inconvenience
