Property Developer - Surveys

Building Survey

Our building surveys are prepared following a detailed inspection of the property by a Chartered Building Surveyor. All visible defects will be reported upon and, where possible, the cause diagnosed and recommendations for repair given.

In most cases, developers wish to extend or alter the property they are buying. If you tell us what your proposals are before we carry out the survey, we can give general advice on these aspects and any special precautions that need to be taken or issues such as party wall matters.

Report on Specific Defects

This provides diagnosis and recommendations for further action reporting on one or two issues at a property, for example roof coverings and structure, structural movement such as subsidence or issues of dampness and dry rot.

Snagging Lists

A detailed snagging list is often prepared to highlight defects in a new property, which can then be given to the Developer for him to rectify or in order to renegotiate the price of the property.

Part Exchange Surveys

We have developed our part exchange report for specific clients involved in the property market such as housing developers providing part exchange schemes and for property companies providing "chain break" services. The report focuses on significant defects within the property and also provides both open market and rebuilding cost valuations.
