Get the property records
into a useful order.
Start with the exact dwelling, its existing records and the checks you need to arrange. Then decide whether separate instructions or a core certificate package fits the job.
Look at what is already available.
Find the EPC, electrical condition report and relevant gas records for the actual property. Keep evidence of later work with those documents. The property’s circumstances and relevant advice determine what needs updating.
Share the access arrangements.
Confirm the keyholder, occupancy and spaces included in each assessment. Different professionals or visits may be involved even when the request is combined.
Make follow-up work explicit.
Inspection findings can lead to questions, investigation or repairs. Do not assume additional work is included in a certificate booking. Review the proposed scope and price separately.

Planning access in a London block
For a flat, identify the private dwelling, shared entrance and any communal plant or supply. A concierge booking, parking restriction or managed key collection can affect attendance. Give those details before a date is agreed.
