Building Survey

A Building Survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property. It is suitable for all properties, especially:
• Listed buildings
• Older properties
• Buildings constructed in an unusual way, however old they are
• Properties you plan to renovate or alter in any way
• Properties that have had extensive alterations

It examines all accessible parts of the property. You can ask to have specific areas included, so it covers any particular concerns you have about the building.

A Building Survey includes details of;

• All faults, both major and minor and what they could mean
• The possible cost of repairs
• Results of damp testing on walls
• Damage to timbers, including woodworm and rot
• The condition of damp-proofing, insulation and drainage (although drains are not tested)
• Technical information on the construction of the property and the materials used
• The location
• Recommendations for any further special inspections

A Building Survey does not include a valuation, but your surveyor can provide this separately if you need one.
