Full Building Survey (Level 3)
Buying a property is expensive, whether a house, flat, or business premises is a significant investment. One that you need to make an informed decision about. You simply cannot afford to make mistakes. That’s exactly what the Building Survey allows you to do. It’s been developed exclusively for homebuyers. When you buy a property you need to know exactly what you’re getting. There may be a number of problems that you can’t see, but a qualified surveyor will be able to find all of them. So before you commit to buying your dream home, make sure that you request a Survey.
- No minimum fee
- No hidden charges.
- Very competitive rates.
- Reports are written in a comprehensive and easily understood way.
Do not forget that, even with a flat or office suite you may be responsible for a share of the cost of repairing the whole building. The only way to find out about the structural condition is to have a building survey carried out by qualified Surveyor. At worst, serious defects may be found and at best you will have the peace of mind of knowing that the building is sound.

How Much will it cost?
The cost of a survey depends on the time taken and varies depending on the age and type of property. We shall give a fixed-fee quotation over the telephone and in writing.
What does a surveyor do?
We look at every readily accessible part of the property and give a detailed report. The report will tell you whether the property is structurally sound and if any cracks are significant.
It will comment on the condition of the roof and rainwater pipes and let you know if the property is dry and weather-tight. It will mention any rising dampness or lack of pointing, allowing water to penetrate walls.
Your survey
will look for major defects that might affect the property,
such as:-
- Rot in timbers such as windows, roofs, fascias, soffits and barge boards, decorative panels etc.
- Damp in walls, floors, chimneys, roofs etc.
- Subsidence, settlement and structural movement.
- Failure of roofs, walls and floors.
- Infestations such as woodworms, death-watch beetles, mice and rats, bats, birds, etc.
- Leaks in plumbing, heating and sanitary installations.
