We recommend that anyone buying a property commissions a full Building Survey (sometimes called a Structural Survey) before completing their purchase.

A Building Survey undertaken by us will contain information about the structural condition of the property and full details of any defects together with the need for any future maintenance or repair. All parts of the property that are visible, both internal and external, from the roof to the foundations are inspected and covered in the detailed report.

There are various times when you might need to have your property valued. Or you might need an independent valuation of a property that you are considering buying. A tailored independent valuation report from us is a cost effective solution. Get us onboard to place an accurate, independent valuation on your home, or residential investment, particularly if you, or your family, have owned it for many years.
