Buying a property or planning building work?
We offer CCTV inspections for customers buying properties, but do not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports. If a solicitor, lender or other adviser requires a formal coded report, you will need a provider offering that report type.
Add drainage condition to the purchase information
A viewing gives little information about the inside of underground pipes. Check what your existing property survey covers, then explain any further drainage evidence you need. Camera inspection can investigate visible condition within accessible sections.

Plan access with the seller or agent
Provide the full Fareham address, access contact and purchase timetable. Locked areas or shared chambers may need arrangements in advance. Confirm the appointment and delivery of agreed outputs separately before relying on a survey for a purchase deadline.
Match the inspection to adviser requirements
SouthFlow offers CCTV inspections for property buyers, but does not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports. If your solicitor, lender or other adviser requires a formal coded report, arrange this with a provider offering that report type.

Your Fareham service questions
Why have a drain survey before buying a property?
Underground pipe interiors cannot be assessed during a viewing. A camera survey can help investigate their visible condition before you commit. Check what drainage assessment is already covered by your other purchase surveys.
When should I arrange the survey?
Arrange the inspection early enough for seller access and review of the findings before your purchase deadline. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours. We offer CCTV inspections for customers buying properties, but do not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports.
Who arranges access?
Coordinate access with the seller or estate agent. Tell us who will admit the engineer and whether gardens, inspection chambers or shared areas need special arrangements.
Will my solicitor or lender accept the report?
SouthFlow provides footage, images and a written summary where required, rather than a formal coded homebuyer report. If your solicitor or lender requires a formal coded report, choose a provider that offers it. Confirm their requirements before booking.
Does it include septic tanks or treatment plants?
A pipe-camera survey should not be assumed to include a specialist assessment of every drainage asset. Tell us what systems the property uses and agree any separate tank or treatment-system inspection needed.
What happens if a defect is found?
The findings can help you discuss the next steps with your advisers and the seller. Further investigation or a separate repair assessment may be needed. Repairs are not automatically included in the survey.
How much does the work cost?
We quote for the work your property needs. The price depends on the problem, access, preparation and attendance arrangements. When requesting a quote, ask what is included and whether VAT or additional investigation charges apply.
