Draycott
Based in Lymington in the heart of the New Forest we are an established practice covering Hampshire, Dorset and the surrounding areas including Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, Christchurch, Highcliffe, New Milton, Milford on Sea and Barton-on-Sea. Many of our clients are new to the area and depend on our extensive local knowledge to assist in the purchase or alteration of their property.

Surveys: Homebuyer Reports and Building Surveys to give you clear advice on the condition of the property you want to buy. Contract Administration: Overseeing and managing the building contract, or more involved Project Management if required. Both services will allow you to enjoy being the client. Our service will ensure you are protected by a contract and remain financially secure.

When you contact us, we will be pleased to outline the comprehensive service that we offer and the costs involved. From the moment we are commissioned we will ensure that accurate information is assembled and the correct course of action is recommended.
Services
We have been providing chartered surveyor services in the New Forest and surrounding areas since 1983.
We cover the whole of the New Forest and the coastal belt from Hythe along the Solent to Christchurch.
Our extensive local knowledge is brought to bear for your benefit.
We are well experienced in all aspects of local building techniques such as cob and materials such as thatch.
We have no commercial affiliations to financial institutions or agencies.
Our clients recognise the value of impartial and independent advice which they require in a prompt and personal manner.
A survey is essential so you can be properly advised on the condition of the property you are wanting to buy and its value.
The Building Survey (or structural survey) A comprehensive survey which we recommend for the larger or older property.
A detailed report is produced on the form of construction, defects found and action required.
As part of our Building Survey we will include a buildings insurance valuation.
The Homebuyer's Report (HBR) A more concise survey which we recommend for properties built after 1950.
The Building Survey is what a lot of people used to refer to as a Structural Survey or a level 3 inspection.
This is the most in depth inspection of the property you are considering making your next home or investment.
Draycott Chartered Surveyors favour this type of report over all others as giving the client the fullest information about the property you intend to purchase.
We will also be able to advise you on the possible costs of those remedial works and whether these should give you cause to re-negotiate the agreed purchase price.
The HomeBuyer Survey, commonly referred to as a "Level 2" inspection is a more concise report based upon a standard format concentrating on major issues likely to affect your decision to purchase.
The HomeBuyer Report is really intended for conventional, modern properties (post 1950) that are in a reasonable condition and is commonly offered as a service upgrade by Building Society Valuers.
This level of report will not detail every single aspect of the building or provide advice on costs of repair or how repairs should be carried out, but does highlight urgent elements that could have a substantial impact on the value of the property, or need attention before purchasing the property.
The "Essentials" Survey is a product developed by Draycott Chartered Surveyors principally for their clients who have some knowledge of buildings and for clients planning major refurbishments who are really only interested in the Essential elements that will affect their decision to proceed, or not, with the purchase.
This report covers the "Essential" main elements of the building - chimneys, roofs, main walls and floors - for any structural problems, damp, rot and wood boring beetle infestation.
