One pattern we see consistently across SN1 and SN1 is Bristol-edge new-build mist-coat and finish painting.

What we look at on a site visit

Each spindle is individually sanded, primed, and painted. 30+ spindles is a full day's work.
Dado and picture rails
Period features need careful cutting-in and often need stripping back to bare wood first.
Wall condition
