A Building Survey is a wide-ranging inspection of a property. It is suitable for all properties, in particular:

·        Listed Buildings

·        Older Properties

·        Buildings constructed in an unusual way, regardless of age

·        Buildings that you intend to renovate or change

·        Buildings that have already been renovated or significantly altered

A Building Survey examines all accessible elements of the property. You can, however, request that certain areas are included to cover particular concerns that you may have about the property. The Surveyor will modify a Building Survey to your needs. 

Here is a list of the aspects that may be included in a Building Survey:

·        Most important and more insignificant defects and what they could mean

·        The costs for possible repairs

·        Results of tests for damp in the walls

·        Woodworm, dry rot and other damage to timbers

·        The conditions of existing damp proofing, insulation and advice on non-tested drainage

·        Information on the materials used to build the property and any relevant technical information

·         Recommendations for further investigations on the property

Please note that a Building Survey does not include a valuation, so please ask your surveyor separately if you require one.
