Building Survey
A Building Survey will involve a comprehensive inspection of all parts of the property. The survey will provide an in-depth description of the building construction and condition of roofs, chimneys, walls, etc. A detailed, but clearly presented, report will be produced including photographs to illustrate defects. A market valuation and/or reinstatement cost assessment (for insurance purposes) can usually be provided. The report will include analysis of the causes of defects and recommendations for remedial work, with a summary of the main repair items and any legal issues to be checked. On request we also provide advice on alterations, extensions or general refurbishment. Specialist tests by contractors on service installations can be arranged. A Building Survey is suitable for any property type but it is most appropriate for older buildings, typically pre-1900, houses in major disrepair or houses that have been altered.
