What is a Building Survey?
Are you house hunting and wondering whether to have a Building Survey?
A building Survey will give you peace of mind and save you money too
Why is a Building Survey essential?
When buying a house, according to English law, the emphasis is on the purchaser to discover any property defects, you may have heard the term “caveat emptor” which means “buyer beware” so having a Building Survey is essential.
Having a highly qualified, experienced Building Surveyor inspect the house and provide a fully comprehensive Building Survey will not only ensure you are fully aware of any property issues but give you peace of mind too. In our Building Surveys we not only detail property issues but give solutions and anticipated building costs too so armed with this information you will be able to negotiate on the property price and save money too.
