Building Surveys
(Full Structural Surveys)
A
building survey report, formerly referred to as a structural
survey report is the most thorough and detailed report
on the condition of a property that you can buy.
Our survey reports may differ from others; because they
include explanatory photographs illustrating the defects,
and a list of the repair costs that can be both informative
and be used to re-negotiate the purchase price of your
proposed property.
Our survey reports also include advice on:
- Structural movement, historic or on-going
- Dampness
- Timber decay or insect infestation
- Previous structural alterations
- All problems that are likely to have a significant
repair cost
Additionally, we
can comment on your plans for extensions, loft conversions,
basement excavations, etc.
A Little Extra
The surveyor will call you immediately after the
inspection and discuss the main issues with you;
so you will know the results quickly.
Surveys on residential flats always include an inspection
of the main building, or block, because you will
usually have an obligation to contribute towards
the cost of the maintenance. Surveys on houses or
commercial properties include a Rebuilding Cost Valuation
for fire insurance purposes.
After Sales
Once you have received
your report our After Sales Service is free. Just
call the telephone number we have included on the
back page of the report and speak directly to the
Chartered Surveyor who inspected your property. He
or she will be happy to discuss the survey with you
and answer any queries that you may have.
We also provide further free advice on issues raised
by the report, such as third party timber and damp
reports or drainage surveys.
