Buildings Survey

A Building Survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property reported in a style to suit the property and your specific requirements. 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 and 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. It is a product which can be tailored to your needs, agreed between you and Richard.

A Building Survey can include 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.

A Building Survey doesn’t include a valuation, but Richard can provide this separately if you need one.
