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

Listed buildings and older properties

Buildings of any age constructed in an unusual way

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.

An 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

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