WHAT WE DO
What this service includes
This report focuses its attention on older or run-down properties, buildings that are unusual or altered, or where major building works are planned. It costs more than other RICS reports since it includes detailed information about the structure and fabric of the property.
The report describes the form of construction and materials used for different parts of the property. It describes the condition and provides an assessment of the relative importance of the defects/problems.
It also:-
- Describes the identifiable risks of potential or hidden defects in areas not inspected
- proposes the most probable cause(s) of the defects based on the inspection
- outlines the likely scope of any appropriate remedial work and explains the likely consequences of non-repair; and
- makes general recommendations in respect of the priority and likely timescale for necessary work.
- we are also able to provide an estimate of costs for identified repairs if agreed with you in advance
