We offer the following types of Survey:

Homebuyer Survey & Valuation

The Homebuyer Service is in a standard format and is designed specifically as an economy service. It therefore differs from a Building Survey in two major respects.

It is intended only for particular types of home: houses, flats and bungalows which are:
conventional in type and construction, apparently in reasonable condition.
It focusses on essentials: defects and problems which are urgent or significant and thus have an effect on the value of the property - although it also includes much other valuable information.

The Homebuyer Survey, unlike a Building Survey, provides not only a survey but also a valuation as an integral part of the Service.

Building Survey (formerly called a Structural Survey)
- for those who are serious about knowing the condition of the property.

A Building Survey is suitable for all residential properties and provides a good picture of their condition. It is likely to be needed if the property is, dilapidated, in need of repair, has specific problems, has been extensively altered, or where an extension, conversion or renovation is planned. It is usually designed to the client's individual requirements and the specific circumstances regarding the property. The report often includes extensive technical information on construction and materials as well as details of the whole range of defects, major to minor.

Property Surveys

These include: Land Surveys, Boundary Surveys, and Party Wall Surveys.

Land Surveys

Land surveys are carried out to establish the size and levels of areas of land of all sizes.

In relation to Residential Projects they are often needed to establish the location, size, levels, and nature of the land involved. Such information is required for design purposes, and also for obtaining necessary approvals from the Local Authorities, and of course the actual building of projects.

These surveys are also used when transactions are taking place with respect to Farming Properties or Commercial Properties which are changing ownership, or where land ownership is disputed.

Boundary Surveys

These are performed either in conjunction with Land Surveys or individually to establish the boundaries of properties, and again on such occasions as when property ownership is being transferred, or boundaries are in dispute, or a building project is planned.

Party Wall Surveys

These are often involved in settling possible party wall disputes where neighbours are involved in the planning or construction of building projects. Party Wall inspections and surveys are necessary to ascertain if the Party Wall Act has been adhered to and also in the deciding of Awards under the Party Wall Act.

Peace of Mind Inspections

You can also engage us to inspect the builder's work during the process of building even if we have not drawn up or been involved in any design work or contract negotiations prior to the building work starting.

Local Authority Building Control Inspectors will offer a minimum amount of inspection and are concerned solely with compliance with the Building Regulations. This does not include many aspects of design and quality. We will fill in that gap for you, offering you peace of mind with our 'Peace of Mind Inspections', which can be as frequent or are infrequent as you require or the project needs. We will be happy to discuss possible needs with you.
