Building Surveying Services

Purchasing a new home is the largest investment that any of us are likely to make. It is essential that you know what you are buying, together with the obligations and responsibilities that accompany the property. Homeowners who intend to reside in the property benefit from acquiring an in depth knowledge of the condition of the building to inform the future planned maintenance. Similarly, when selling a property, it is important to understand the factors that may affect the final selling price. Whether you are buying or selling a property, a survey carried out by a RICS Chartered professional ensures that there are no unpleasant revelations.

Home Survey Level one – formerly RICS Condition Report

A condition report is a visual inspection that summarises the condition of the building and any risks to the people, building and grounds. It is an assessment of the relative importance of defects and problems.

Home Survey Level two – formerly RICS Homebuyers Survey Report

A survey and report that focuses on the general condition of the main elements of the property. This intermediate level of service includes a more extensive visual inspection of the building, outbuildings, services and grounds, but still without tests.

Home Survey Level three – formerly RICS Building Survey

Choose this report if dealing with larger or older properties, a building that is unusual or altered, or if you’re planning major works. It costs more than the other RICS reports because it gives detailed information about the structure and fabric of the property.

New Build Snagging Surveys

There is a mistaken belief that new build properties should have no defects as they are new. Various problems arise in the first 10 years of a new homes life, hence the requirement for a 10-year warranty on any new build property. A new build snagging survey should be undertaken prior to purchase to identify any minor or cosmetic defects. The developer can then remedy the items identified in our report prior to your moving date.

Drone Surveys

A Drone Survey offers enormous potential to Surveying Professionals. Our Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved pilots carry out Drone Surveys using high resolution cameras. This advanced technology allows us to inspect the condition of your roof in preparation for winter or to inform any survey. Our members will be able to provide you with highly detailed images to help quickly identify trouble spots without touching the roof, with no need for ladders, cherry pickers, scissor lifts or scaffolding. Our drone surveys offer huge cost savings, they’re faster & safer than traditional surveying at height techniques.

Planned and Cyclical Maintenance Surveys

This involves the formulation and delivery of a programme of maintenance over the life of any property. Maintenance plans of any property assist in the strategically planned maintenance, preventative maintenance and proactive maintenance. Assisting with planned future budget expenditure and reducing increased future costs.

Defect Analysis Surveys

A defect survey focuses on a specific problem or suspected defect identified by the client relating to a property or building. Defect analysis is suitable for any type of residential or commercial property.
