A Building Survey is suitable for all residential properties and provides a full picture of their construction and condition. It is likely to be needed if the property is, for example, of unusual construction, is dilapidated or has been extensively altered - or where a major conversion or renovation is planned.

It is tailored to your requirements. The report includes extensive technical information on construction and materials as well as details of the whole range of defects, major to minor.

It comprises:

• a comprehensive appraisal of the means and materials of construction
• a technical analysis of significant defects revealed and advice on appropriate further actions
• identification of less significant defects, general disrepair and shortcomings in the physical
• condition, maintenance and design of the building.

A valuation can often be included in a building survey as an 'optional extra'.
