The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. A useful Sydenham enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
