Building Surveys
We are here to make sure your property is evaluated properly and if repairs are necessary with our comprehensive Building Surveys.
Building Surveys:
Buying a new property can be a stressful event. Making sure that the property can suit your needs or the needs of your family is just one small challenge, but making sure that your investment will be secure for years to come requires careful inspection. The market for fast-moving property transactions throughout Surrey, as well as having an informed eye when it comes to your investment, will make sure you can properly evaluate a property and be ready to make repairs as necessary. One of the best ways that you can gain knowledge about a property is with the help of an RICS building survey.
RICS building survey explained:
RICS building surveys are a complete structural survey and one of the most in-depth and comprehensive reports available for looking at the condition and construction of property. During one of these surveys, a qualified surveyor will carry out the full inspection to make sure that your property falls within standards for safety and structural stability. The complete report will provide you with a prioritised list of advice on the condition of the property you’re looking at and help you make informed decisions about your future investment.
The property will be properly inspected anywhere that is physically accessible which can include under carpet, behind furniture, external walls, doors, windows and roofs. There are 24 internal and external elements to this survey including roof structure, roof spaces, wall construction, services, outdoor areas, insulation, energy efficiency, structural integrity, outbuildings, and more.
Your report will explain the defects as well as costs for repairs and repair options. A prioritised list of future maintenance you may need to know about can give you even greater peace of mind.
Although one of the surveys is not a requirement to purchase a property, the survey could end up saving you thousands of pounds in the future. This is an essential service for older homes or older commercial spaces as you can get a better idea of your future costs and the most significant repairs that you’ll need to carry out early on into your ownership.
