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

Very professional but also very calm and kind advice. My house purchase was not subject to a mortgage so this was a first for me to source my own House Survey. Sophie was very approachable and explained things clearly and in a Jargon free way without being condescending. She kept me updated throughout. I recommend this company for home surveys.
