UNDERSTANDING BUILDING SURVEYS
Building Surveys are the most comprehensive type of property survey available, offering an in-depth analysis of the condition of a building. These surveys are particularly suited for older properties, properties that have undergone significant alterations, or buildings in need of major repairs. A Building Survey provides a detailed evaluation of a property’s structure, identifying any defects, potential risks and areas that may require immediate attention or future maintenance.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A BUILDING SURVEY?
A Building Survey thoroughly examines both the exterior and interior of a property, ensuring that every aspect is covered:
EXTERIOR INSPECTION
This includes a comprehensive assessment of the roof, walls, windows, doors, chimneys and external features like gutters and drainage. The survey looks for structural issues, signs of wear and tear and any defects that could affect the building's stability and safety.
INTERIOR ASSESSMENT
Inside the property, the survey examines the condition of walls, ceilings, floors and built-in fittings. Special attention is paid to signs of dampness, subsidence, structural movement and the integrity of internal finishes.
SERVICES REVIEW
The Building Survey includes a review of essential services such as heating, plumbing, electrical systems and drainage. While this is a visual inspection, it aims to identify any obvious issues that may need further investigation or repair.
PROPERTY HISTORY AND STRUCTURE
The survey also considers the property’s history, construction materials and techniques used. This helps to provide context for any issues identified and informs recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
