Building Survey
A Building Survey is our most detailed residential inspection and is recommended for older properties, listed buildings, period homes, properties that have been altered or extended, and buildings of non-standard construction.
Unlike more basic surveys, a Building Survey provides detailed explanations of defects, likely causes and repair considerations.
What the Survey Includes:
- Comprehensive inspection of all accessible elements.
- Detailed assessment of structural movement and deterioration.
- Examination of roofs, walls, floors, windows and services.
- Identification of hidden risks and future maintenance concerns.
- Explanation of likely causes of defects.
- Guidance on repair priorities and potential consequences.
Benefits:
- Maximum level of information before purchase.
- Ideal for renovation and refurbishment projects.
- Helps estimate future maintenance costs.
- Provides confidence when purchasing complex properties.
- Valuable evidence when negotiating purchase price.
This survey is recommended
whenever a property's
age, condition or construction
requires a more detailed
assessment.
