Services
Houses can be money pits and buying a house is a major investment - so the homebuyer really needs to be able to make an informed decision.
For this reason a well-informed purchaser will commisssion a survey of the property which they intend to buy.
Buying a house can be stressful and it is not always in the seller's best interests to be fully open about its quirks and idiosyncrasies.
A survey report based on a thorough inspection of the property tells the buyer about any aspects of the property that need urgent attention or which present serious faults, as well as any longer term repairs that a home owner might have to plan for.

We just wanted to say thank you for such a detailed and thorough assessment of the property.
Your investigation which has now been forwarded to our solicitor went far and beyond what we expected and we are very grateful.
Again many thanks for visiting the property at short notice.
The results of the report were as I had anticipated.
I am very pleased with the service you have provided and will certainly recommend you if asked for a property surveyor.
Thank you very much.
We really appreciate your time yesterday and getting the report to us ahead of time.

Most surveys normally reveal defects and identify items of required maintenance, or provide an indication that concealed and hidden defects may exist.
Knowledge of potential problems enables a property purchaser to obtain estimates for the cost of remedying defects and therefore be more informed as to the total overall cost of the proposed purchase.
The vendor is often completely unaware that defects exist and it is fairly routine in property transactions for a vendor and purchaser to re-negotiate the purchase price to reflect problems which have arisen or may be reasonably anticipated.

Whether you have a leaking roof, cracks in walls, apparent dampness, or other suspected defects in your property, I can carry out an investigation and provide a report.
The report will also offer advice on necessary remedial works, if this is appropriate.
Fees for this type of service will always be by agreement, depending on the scope of the work.

Energy efficiency is now a common concern, in the light of global warming, excessive CO2 emissions, rising fuel prices and depletion of the Earth's ozone layer.
We have generally become more concerned about protection of our environment and conservation of energy resources.
Insulation standards in new housing have improved dramatically in the last few decades (largely through revisions to the standards which are required by the Building Regulations) but surveyors often find older properties which could be easily provided with greatly improved insulation.
