A Building Survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property reported in a bespoke style to suit the property and your specific requirements.

It’s 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, and you can ask your surveyor to look at any areas you have particular concerns about.

• Major and minor defects and what they could mean
• Estimated cost of major repairs
• Testing for any dampness to the walls
• Comment on damage to timbers, including any woodworm or rot
• Technical information on the construction of the property and the materials used
• 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.
