We have particular knowledge and experience of thatched and period properties and if contemplating the purchase of an older property or one where it is evident that there are numerous defects, we would recommend that you consider commissioning a Building Survey.

In recent years there has been an increased upsurge in legislation relating to buildings that has placed increasing responsibility on the occupiers to act as 'competent or responsible persons'.
An example of this is the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 which came into force in autumn 2006.
The main effect of the Fire Safety Order was a move to greater emphasis on fire prevention in all non-domestic premises that reforms all current fire safety law with a view to reducing the burden by previous multiple overlapping fire safety legislation, with a principal reform being the abolition of fire certificates.
