Digital Colour photographs, with all Intermediate and Building Survey Reports.
Many previous clients have confirmed that this service alone is a significant benefit to them, as it helps to 'put a picture in the mind's eye'.
When we visit properties, the vendor is very often not at home, due to work or other commitments.
Ordinarily, this would mean that a surveyor wouldn't have the opportunity to discuss the property and its history with the current owner.

It is often said that buying a home is the largest and most important financial commitment you will make in your lifetime and with rapidly moving property prices in recent times, this has never been more relevant.
In order to answer these questions, you will need a local surveyor with detailed knowledge and experience of the area.
Buyers are sometimes tempted to rely solely on their lender's valuation report, when buying a property.
The purpose of such reports is simply to tell the lender whether the property is worth the price that you have agreed and whether it would be readily saleable, if it had to be taken into possession.

The ISVA HomeSurvey is an intermediate survey, in a format produced by the Independent Surveyors' and Valuers' Association.
This type of survey is suitable for purchasers of flats and many traditionally constructed houses and bungalows.
It is a concise report, designed to report on significant defects and to enable clients to make an informed decision on whether or not they should proceed with the purchase.
If required, the report can be upgraded, so as to include an estimated Buildings Insurance Reinstatement Cost figure.

We have had other surveys carried out in the past - none of which included photos or a vendor questionnaire, which are both very useful.
Also Mr Carver was happy to speak on the telephone with his views about the property, which was very helpful.
Very easy to follow, clear, plain English.
This is the first surveyor's report I have understood and I required no assistance to help me.
Everyone who saw the survey, including several professionals, was very impressed with the breadth of the survey and with the attention to detail.
