A Few of the Services We Provide Are:
Our HomeBuyer Survey has been officially recognised by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and is one of our most popular surveys, as it provides a detailed analysis of the condition of the property. An in depth survey is always recommended by our professional surveyors as it serves to give you peace of mind when considering a property.
The inspection typically lasts around two to three hours, depending on the property’s size and style. The report will detail any potential repairs or defects identified during the inspection. A HomeBuyer Report may also include a market valuation, and is generally conducted on properties that are less than 150 years old.
Residential –
A residential building survey was formerly known as a ‘full structural survey’ and is recommended for older and historic properties as well as properties of a non-traditional or altered construction. Your typical residential building survey looks at the construction and foundation of the property and any additional otherwise invisible features of the property that would not be covered in a HomeBuyer report.
Commercial –
Due to the detailed nature of a commercial building survey, it is always recommended for businesses. Ensuring a property’s safety and structural stability before entering into negotiations is crucial. 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 valuable 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 Welshpool should undergo an independent survey. Conducting thorough due diligence is essential to ensure the property is in sound condition and free from any construction defects or issues with materials. This helps safeguard your investment and ensures peace of mind.
How do I know which survey to choose?
Selecting the right survey can be daunting, but professional advice can simplify the process. At Silk Sharples Jennings, we are ready to assist you. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’ll discuss the available survey options with you, helping you make a well-informed decision.
How soon should I book a survey as part of my property search?
We advise booking a survey as soon as your offer on a property in Welshpool has been accepted or before you sign contracts for a lease. Scheduling the survey early allows you to identify any potential issues before you commit from a legal standpoint. This also provides the opportunity to negotiate if the survey uncovers any significant defects or necessary repairs.
