Building Survey(Previously known as Structural Survey)

This is the most detailed report on the condition of

a property. It involves a thorough visual examination

of all accessible areas, including external elements,

internal areas (including the roof space) and the

service systems. If necessary, we will recommend

specialists to advise on whether services meet

current regulations. The repor t describes the

construction and condition of each part of the

property and reports on all defects irrespective or

their severity.

Where applicable it will identify the need for

specialist reports or further investigations and will

also provide general recommendations regarding

ongoing maintenance issues.

Building Surveys are suitable for any residential

property regardless of age, construction type or

condition and an open market valuation can

normally be provided upon request.

The RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation

This is an RICS endorsed Survey, which is generally

intended for properties that are well maintained and

have been traditionally built within the last century.

The report aims to assist a purchaser who is

contemplating buying a residential property reach

balanced and informed decisions. It will comment on

the general condition of the property and identify

any essential repairs required or serious defects

where relevant. General advice on how to approach

dealing with such issues will also be provided.

If serious defects are identified that could be seen as

an immediate or developing threat to the property

then more detailed investigations by specialists such

as roofers, timber and damp companies or structural

engineers may be recommended.

All accessible parts of the property are inspected.

However, in the case of flats, not all communal areas

are covered. Service systems are inspected but the

efficiency and compliance in line with current

regulations cannot be confirmed.

We offer both RICSHomebuyer Reports andBuilding Surveys

It is always advisable

to seek the advice of a

Chartered Surveyor

such as Beresfords

Chartered Surveyors.

They will undertake a

comprehensive inspection

of a property, provide

their findings in a clear and

concise manner and offer

practical recommendations

and advice where

considered relevant.

A professional survey will

not only identify potential

defects but could also

forewarn you of any future

maintenance issues.
