Our residential survey offerings

HomeBuyer Survey

Our Homebuyers survey gives homebuyers essential information about the condition of a property. Our homebuyers survey is best for traditionally built homes which were built after 1900. A homebuyers survey is an essential report for all property buyers. Properties suitable for a homebuyers survey should be in a reasonable condition.

Building Survey

Our Building Survey is a deeply thorough survey on a property and it's condition, with investigations into any serious defects found during the survey, giving you a clear picture of the level of remedial works required and even a guide on the associated costs (if requested). Our Building Survey is suitable for pre-1900, extensively altered or poor condition properties.

Homebuyers Survey (BTL)

Our Homebuyers survey, specifically for Buy-To-Let properties, gives investors essential information about the condition of an investment property and also dives deeper into the legislative requirements placed on today's property investors. Properties suitable for a Homebuyers survey for Buy-To-Let, should be in a reasonable condition.

Snagging Survey

Our Snagging Survey is a thorough overview and inspection of any newly built or freshly refurbished properties. A snagging inspection gives you a thorough report, which shows all snags and issues which need to be rectified by the builder or developer before you complete your purchase. It is essential that a snagging survey is conducted before the completion of the purchase transaction.

Schedule of Condition

A Schedule of Condition survey is a professionally documented way for landlords and tenants to protect themselves and their interests, by outlining and agreeing the state of a property at the outset of a tenancy. A Schedule of Condition survey provides much needed proof of condition should a claim need to be issued against a tenant or for use as a defence against a landlord.

Limited Defect Survey

A Limited Defect Survey is a very specific survey which focuses on one or multiple issues, and provides a professional surveyors opinion on a specific issue or issues. These issues could be about your own property, or a property you are thinking of purchasing. This type of Survey can put your mind at rest, or alternatively, make you aware of what remedial works will be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Homebuyer Survey and a Building Survey?

A Homebuyer Survey is suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition, highlighting urgent defects. A Building Survey is a more comprehensive report, ideal for older, larger, or unique properties, providing in-depth analysis of construction and defects.

How long does a survey take?

The duration of a survey depends on the type of survey and the size and condition of the property. A Homebuyer Survey typically takes 2-4 hours on site, while a more extensive Building Survey can take a full day.

When will I receive my report?

We aim to deliver your comprehensive report within 5 working days of the on-site inspection. For urgent cases, we can sometimes offer a faster turnaround; please discuss your needs with us when booking.
