A few minutes at the open inspection.

In short: Things you can check yourself before you spend anything.

Balustrade height

Stand next to it. If it reaches your hip rather than your waist, have it measured.

Downpipes

Follow one down and see whether it enters anything at all.

Silt pits

Look for soil and debris sitting in them.

Shower base

Look low on the wall rather than at the tiling.

Then book it properly

None of this substitutes for an inspection. It tells you how quickly to arrange one.
