Full Building Survey (Residential)
Formerly called a “Structural Survey” the Building Survey comprises a detailed inspection of a residential property and a comprehensive Report on its current condition and future maintenance requirements. Budget costs are provided and broken down into categories; Essential, Desirable and Future Maintenance.
The Inspection and Report can be tailored to a client’s individual needs and cognisance is taken of any future plans for the property.
We always recommend that a purchaser have an independent Survey, either a RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation or a Full Building Survey since the valuation provided by the Mortgage Company is not designed for this purpose.
Full Building Surveys can be carried out on all types of properties but are more suitable for older, period and Listed properties
We have specialist knowledge of historic and Listed Buildings and a detailed knowledge of all types of vernacular architecture seen in East Anglia.
For properties less than 100 years of age and of traditional construction, an alternative for a prospective purchaser is the RICS Home Buyer Survey and Valuation.
When carrying out Surveys we aim to leave the property as we find it and will not therefore lift carpets, floorboards or remove fixed access covers etc.
When it is sometimes not possible to reach a conclusion on certain aspects of a property we will recommend the use of further Specialist reports.
The Full Building Survey does not include a Market Valuation or an opinion as to the cost of re-building but these can be added at additional cost if required.
All of our Surveyors are fully qualified members of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
Prices start at £430 (including VAT).
