Formerly known as ‘Full Structural Surveys’, these provide a
very detailed description of a building’s construction
and condition. Ideal for properties that you want to renovate
or convert, and where buildings have already been extensively
altered.
Building
Surveys allow the surveyor to express extensive detailed
advice and are typically at least 20 pages long. Essential
for period properties older than about 1870,such as thatched cottages, and for large homes
with 5 or more bedrooms, and buildings of non-conventional construction.
As well as covering all urgent and significant defects, a Building Surveys
will report on very minor issues. A valuation is not normally
included unless requested. Carried out by a qualified
MRICS or FRICS chartered surveyor.
We regularly compare
prices from local firms of surveyors so we
can offer surveys direct to the public at very competitive
prices.
By accepting our online
quote, rather than booking your survey through a mortgage lender,
we cut out the share of the fee taken by the banks.
All surveyors we
instruct are experienced locally-based MRICS / FRICS
qualified professionals, whether from a national survey company
or a small partnership.
Unlike some firms,
we are more than happy to discuss your survey before
and after the event.
