We have compiled a list of useful definitions and descriptions related to property, property purchase and the building industry in general. Each section is setout from the top of the building down, i.e. Chimneys first, then roof coverings - and then we look at the interior and the services. We use these definitions and more in our reports to aid your understanding of any issues and problems with the property.
