A Few of the Services We Provide Are:
Known as the RICS HomeBuyer Report, this licensed survey is recognised by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. It offers a detailed assessment of various elements of the property, including its structural condition and both the interior and exterior aspects.
The inspection typically lasts around two to three hours, depending on the property’s size and style. The report will provide details on any potential repairs or defects identified within the property. A HomeBuyer Report may also include a market valuation and is generally conducted on properties that are less than 150 years old.
Residential –
A building survey provides a comprehensive report and evaluation of the property’s condition, covering all visible and accessible areas. It is highly recommended to request a building survey when considering a property, as this report will highlight any potential issues that may need addressing before the property is considered fit to live in.
Commercial –
Due to the detailed nature of a commercial building survey, it is always recommended for businesses. A commercial building survey is designed to identify any potential problem areas, assess the extent of these issues, and provide advice on the potential costs involved in necessary repairs or upgrades. A building survey is particularly suited for significantly altered properties or older structures, including listed and period properties.
Does a new build property require a survey?
Yes, even new build properties in Newport can benefit from an independent survey. It’s crucial to conduct thorough due diligence to ensure the property is in excellent condition and free from any construction defects or material issues. This step helps protect your investment and provides peace of mind.

How soon should I book a survey?
