Independent Building Surveyors

Our highly qualified Building Surveyors can offer you advice and help on buying a property. We carry out Building Surveys (also known as Structural Surveys), Engineer's Reports and Home Buyers Reports. We also provide Specific Defects Reports on such things as condensation, flooding, dampness and much more. We can also carry out Independent Valuations but please note these are not for bank lending but are to advise you how much we feel the property is really worth.

Please free phone us on 0800 298 5424 and surveyor will call you back. All our surveyors are independent and are not attached to an estate agents, bank or building society.

We recommend you take a look at our sample surveys CLICK HERE to give you an idea of the sort of things we do although we appreciate every property is different.

Why have one of our independent building surveys?

We always recommend you have an independent building survey as this will highlight any property problems. Caveat emptor means buyer beware and is why you need to have a building survey to find out if there are any problems within the property. The estate agent certainly will not advise you of any but we most definitely will!

Remember the Building Surveyor that you employ will be the only person working for you with your interests at heart.

We have developed our surveys over many years, in fact several decades. We have listened to feedback from our clients and amended and altered our surveys to make them easy to read and describe issues clearly. The key factor we believe is that our surveys are easy to understand in plain English.

 

The sketches and photos, circles and ovals in our reports

In our structural survey reports we include sketches and photographs to identify problem areas and to help to explain pictorially the issues which we as Independent Surveyors often find helps to highlight and explain property areas of concern. We also use ovals and circles in our photos and sketches to highlight certain areas to you like the one below of a crack between the original building and the extension.
