This will help you to negotiate the price accordingly. More importantly, it will ensure you have the funds to deal with the issues.
If not, it’s time to move on.
However, while the traditional building inspection is very good at finding defects and allowing you t deal with them, there are times when you should consider drone thermal imaging instead, or as well as, the traditional survey.
Accuracy
A drone can fly above the building or even a plot of land and allow you to calculate exactly where the boundaries are.
This will ensure they are in line with the specifications and can even help you to design a building to the space you have available.
Best of all, drone imaging can help you to illustrate your design in 2D and 3D.
Don’t forget, drones can collect the same amount of information you can on the ground but in a lot less time. This makes them cost-effective and practical.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging involves using cameras that see heat. They display the heat on an image by color. Red emphasizes hot areas, cooler areas show as blue and you can have an array of colors between.
This is important when studying a building. The drone can fly around the exterior of the building and over it, mapping where heat is being lost. It will help you to identify how energy efficient the building is and what needs to be done to improve it.
As energy loss equates to higher energy bills, it’s worth the cost of a drone survey just to get the heat images and reduce the amount escaping.
You can also compare it to other buildings in the area to see whether it’s doing better or worse.

Roof Inspection
Thermal imaging done by a drone can highlight excessive loss through the roof which will suggest either a lack of insulation or a problem with the roof. Of course, the drone can also take regular pictures, allowing you to see the condition of the roof from the outside. That’s not easy to do under normal circumstances and can make a substantial difference to the affordability of a property.
While the drone is inspecting the roof it can also check the guttering and, the thermal imaging can even pick up potential water leaks and damp spots.
In short, it will give you a great picture regarding any issues the property has.

Additional Thoughts
While drone imaging can be very beneficial you shouldn’t rely on it completely. The information the drone discovers should be used to investigate the issues further yourself and confirm the problems.
