Building Survey

The Building Survey inspection offered by this Practice is a comprehensive visual inspection of all accessible parts of a property by a qualified Chartered Building Surveyor.

The Building Survey is suitable for a wide range of commercial and residential buildings, identifying major and minor defects, as well as providing advice on the need for further inspection, where necessary.

The Building Survey is particularly suited to:

Listed buildings
Older properties
Buildings constructed in an unusual way, however old they are
Properties you plan to renovate or alter in any way
Properties that have had extensive alterations.

A Building Survey includes details of:

Major and minor defects and what they could mean
Results of damp testing on walls
Damage to timbers – including woodworm and rot
The condition of damp-proofing, insulation and drainage (though drains are not tested)
Technical information on the construction of the property and the materials used
The location
Recommendations for any further special inspections.

The Building Survey does not include a valuation, insurance re-instatement costs or information about repair costs. The provision of such additional information may incur additional costs, over and above the actual survey fee.
