Residential & Housing

A survey is an expert inspection of a property’s condition in order to identify any problems for prospective buyers and to confirm its structural integrity. The report put together by the surveyor will identify any major repairs, risks or problems.

They will look for structural issues such as subsidence or unstable walls, consider problems such as damp or cracks, whilst providing an opinion on the buildings main services including foul and surface water drainage.

A Homebuyer’s survey Level 2 is a non-intrusive inspection of a residential property. A homebuyer’s survey is suitable for conventional properties that have not been drastically altered in their lifetime. The report will describe the defects found in the property but will not go into detail of how these would be rectified or how much it could potentially cost to do so. If you are worried about a specific issue or have an old house you may wish to opt for our Level 3 survey.
