We provide full building surveys that are recommended for older properties or where previous alterations and additions have been carried out. This survey includes a detailed description of the construction of the property, inspection of all main building components, roof, floors, walls, windows, services, finishes, grounds and boundaries. Recommendations for repair or further investigation may be made and an indication of long-term or potential problems listed. An estimated cost of repairs is also included in this service along with an insurance reinstatement valuation. We provide the RICS homebuyer report. It allows for a general inspection of the main elements of the property although in less detail than a Building Survey. Indeed, it is intended to be the economy version†of a Building Survey. It is designed to provide a general appraisal of the condition of a property, identifying significant defects which may affect the value of the premises. We provide a brief and concise valuation report with the main intention of providing a valuation of the property. Major problems and failures should be noted but advice and future implications of failures are not included.
