Some of Our Services Include:
A HomeBuyer Report is one of the most popular forms of survey and is often used to assess the condition of newer properties or properties that are less than 150 years old. It is always recommended by professionals when considering a property for purchase as it gets rid of any potentially nasty surprises when it comes to repairs and renovations needed on the property.
The HomeBuyer Survey evaluates the overall condition of the property, focusing on all visible and accessible areas. The inspection typically takes around two to three hours, depending on the size and style of the property. After the inspection, a detailed report is prepared, including a Market Valuation of the property. This report is presented to the client, along with any necessary professional advice regarding significant or urgent repairs that may be required.
Residential –
Expert advice is essential when considering a property for purchase and it is always recommended that a detailed survey is conducted on a property before you enter into any negotiations regarding a price. A Building Survey is essentially a thoroughly detailed report assessing the structural condition of the property as well as all potential and visible defects, listing them in detail. A Building Survey, sometimes otherwise known as a ‘full structural survey’ is common for older properties, period or listed properties and properties with a non-traditional construction or radically altered structure.
Commercial –
Requesting a Commercial Building Survey is essential as you will receive an in depth report and survey regarding the complete structural condition of the property in question as well as advice with regard to the potential costs involved in conducting any repairs or upgrades to any parts of the property. A Commercial Building Survey provides enough documentation that allows you to fully assess the condition of a property before entering into any negotiations with the sellers.

Can I use the survey report to renegotiate the purchase price?
