Building Surveys

A Building Survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property. It's suitable for all properties, especially:

• Listed buildings
• Older properties
• Buildings constructed in an unusual way, however old they are
• Properties you plan to renovate or alter in any way
• Properties that have had extensive alterations.

It examines all accessible parts of the property - and you can ask to have specific areas included, so it covers any particular concerns you have about the building.

• A Building Survey includes details of:
• Major and minor defects and what they could mean
• The possible cost of repairs
• Results of damp testing on walls
• Damage to timbers - including woodworm and rot
• The condition of damp-proofing, insulation and drainage (though drains aren't tested)
• Technical information on the construction of the property and the materials used
• The location
• Recommendations for any further special inspections.

Our Building Surveys also include a valuation.
