Building Survey / Pre-Contract Report

This survey is suitable for all residential properties and provides a comprehensive report on construction and condition. It can include budget costing for works and recommendations as to further investigations where appropriate (e.g. drainage reports or wiring tests).

This report will include photographs and sketch plans which are of benefit in identifying problem areas. The survey can be adapted by agreement to suit the client's individual needs, for example to comment on proposals for an extension. A valuation is not normally included but can be provided as an agreed extra.

RICS Homebuyers Report

This is a much more detailed inspection and report than the Market Valuation and is suitable for all residential properties, which are of conventional construction, in a reasonable condition and built within the last 50 years.

It is designed to concentrate upon matters that are urgent or significant.

The Homebuyers' service provides a concise and economic report. It also includes a market valuation and building insurance figure.

Schedule of Dilapidations & Condition On Commercial Properties

We can act for either the Landlord or Tenant in agreeing works required to a property at the commencement or completion of a lease. Costed or unpriced schedules of dilapidations can be provided as well as negotiations and discussions relating to covenants within a lease, and preparation of schedules of condition at the commencement of a lease.

Valuation & Market Value

This inspection is normally carried out for Banks and Building Societies in order to assess the suitability of a property for mortgage purposes.

It is sometimes undertaken for clients for taxation or other purposes. The level of detail given in this report regarding the construction and condition of the building is very restricted.

Contract Administration / Project Monitoring / CML Certification

We can provide Contract Administration Services through from inception to completion as well as overseeing and certifying works for Banks or Building Societies and provide 6 year certificates in accordance with the CML for residential properties.
