Building Surveys

These were formerly known as

Structural Surveys

and are the most comprehensive type of non-invasive survey inspection of a house, home or other property you can have. As a visitor to the property that is usually a building not owned by the client, the surveyor cannot cause damage to the property. We can however examine a lot more than somebody viewing the property with an eye to purchasing the property. Based on our training and experience in building construction, the survey will enable us to write a full survey report to advise the property purchaser.

Any property that is older than 1900 or is a period and/or listed structure is recommended to have a full building survey.

Home Purchaser Report

There are several variations on name of this kind of survey. These include:

Homebuyers Report

House Purchase Survey

Major Defects Report

These are the most common kind of report carried out on properties typically built from 1900 onwards. These are a survey inspection of all the easily accessible parts of the property which will include such areas as the roofspace. For most more modern properties, this will be the most typical kind of home survey which will put a property purchasers’ mind at ease with a survey inspection and report being provided, often with a list of property defects and an indication of how important these would be to a typical property purchaser.
