Building survey
This is a very detailed report, which covers the particulars of a property's construction and condition.
Formerly referred to as a ‘structural survey’, this is particularly suitable for very old (pre 1850), very large or unusual properties such as listed buildings. The report is tailored to the needs of the client and type of building. This survey involves a comprehensive inspection of the property. Following completion of the inspection, a detailed and in-depth report is provided. This will include:
- A detailed appraisal of the method and materials used in the construction
- A technical assessment of significant defects and advice on appropriate further actions
- Identification of less significant defects, general disrepair and short comings in physical condition, maintenance and design
- A photographic inventory of the property and defects and other issues
