SURVEY GUIDE
Building Survey
A Building Survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property reported in a style to suit the property and your specific requirements. It is suitable for all properties, especially:
• Listed buildings
• Older properties
• Buildings constructed in an unusual way, however old they are
• Properties you plan to renovate or alter in any way
• Properties that have had extensive alterations.
It examines all accessible parts of the property - and you can ask to have specific areas included, so it covers any particular concerns you have about the building. It is a product which can be tailored to your needs, agreed between you and your surveyor.
A Building Survey can include details of:
• Major and minor defects and what they could mean
• Results of damp testing on walls
• Damage to timbers - including woodworm and rot
• The condition of damp-proofing, insulation and drainage (though drains aren’t tested)
• Technical information on the construction of the property and materials used
• The location
• Recommendations for any further special inspections.
A Building Survey doesn’t include a valuation, but your surveyor can provide this separately if you need one.
Snagging List
This is simply a schedule of items not finished, or not finished properly, where the property is newly built, newly refurbished, or extended.
