Choosing between surveys...Building Survey (Formerly called a structural survey)A Building Survey is suitable for all residential properties and provides a full picture of their construction and condition. It is likely to be needed in respect of older, period properties or if they are of unusual construction, particularly dilapidated or have been extensively altered - or where a major conversion or renovation is planned. Typically, I carry out this type of survey on houses built before 1880, thatched cottages, old farm houses etc and large rambling buildings which have many and varying extensions. It is an investigation into, and assessment of, the construction and condition of a building. It is based on a detailed inspection of the building in as much depth as is possible without damaging the fabric or contents. The report includes extensive technical information on construction and materials as well as comment on individual defects and guidance on maintenance and remedial works. The Building Survey is the most extensive report prepared for a prospective purchaser. It is more detailed than a Homebuyer Survey. However, I must point out that I can only inspect those parts of the property that are readily assessable. I visually inspect the services (electricity, central heating, plumbing, drains etc) to give an overall impression but I do not undertake any tests. These can be arranged direct with specialist contractors. A Market Valuation and a Fire Insurance Valuation can be included if required. View Homebuyer Survey details
