Buildings of any age constructed in an unusual way

n

Properties you plan to renovate or alter in any way

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.

An Building Survey includes details of ­

Results of damp testing on walls

n

Damage to timbers ­ including woodworm and rot

The condition of damp-proofing, insulation and drainage (though drains aren’t tested)

n

The location

Recommendations for any further special inspections

A Building Survey doesn’t include a valuation. We can provide this separately if needed.
