Buying at Auction Information

Our Surveyors pride themselves on a high standard of work. We carry out Building Surveys, Structural Surveys and Home Buyer Reports. We can also offer Schedules of Condition with regard to leases, Property Reports, Schedules of Dilapidations, Section 18 Valuations, Scott Schedules, Commercial Building Surveys, Structural Reports, and Specific Defects Reports. Note these are not for bank lending but are to advise you how much we feel the property is really worth. If you have a property problem we may even already have written an article on it and we would refer you to the many articles we have on our free property articles page. Our Independent surveyors are more than happy to talk about any property problems.

Please Free phone us on 0800 298 5424 for a friendly chat.

 

Caveat Emptor, Buyer Beware.

If you are buying a property than please be aware that
it is the buyers responsibility to have a Building Survey
carried out to find out if there are any problems or issues
with the property.

Our sketches

In addition to the photographs we also use our own
circles that help to explain the problems further. Please
see the example adjacent sketch shown here.

Our Good, Bad & Ugly surveys!

We would also like to introduce to you what we call our good, bad and ugly survey which is our residential building survey, also sometimes known as a structural survey. After listening to the feedback from clients we have designed this survey and report to be easy to understand and we have been written it in plain English.

Examples of our building surveys

If you would like examples of our surveys, residential or commercial, we are more than happy to provide you with these via email. You will see that our surveys contain photos, sketches and definitions that help to explain the specific problems that we find within the property. There is also an Executive Summary at the start of the survey report that highlights the main issues that we find with the property.
