Property Survey

A Building Survey is essential when purchasing period buildings, those with unusual characteristics, construction or which have been extended, converted or altered. RICS guidance recommends this type of survey on properties which have been built pre-1920. We are increasingly finding that clients require Building Surveys on properties built between 1930 and 1970 also, as it is difficult to tell how well-maintained or extended it has been. This is a non-intrusive survey, and provides a detailed inspection of the building, guidance on maintenance and remedial works, and often a detailed comment on individual defects, and how to rectify those defects. Where possible, we can recommend reliable trades people or specialists to provide free estimates or quotes for the work if required.
