What Is Included?

The Report Includes The Following Information:

• The overall condition of the property
• Identification and description and of any significant defects
• Urgent and important matters requiring attention before contract exchange, with recommendations for further specialised inspections
• The value of the property on the open market (if Valuation service is selected)
• The surveyor gives condition ratings to the main parts (the ‘elements’) of the main building, garage and outside elements such as gardens.
• We will help you decide which level of survey is correct as each property has unique characteristics and the choice of survey level should be made on a case-by-case basis.
• Our emphasis is on creating bespoke and comprehensive reports where each defect is thoroughly analysed – no tick-boxing here!

About The Inspection

Surveyors will visually inspect inside and outside of the property and comment on all parts of a property that are readily accessible. Defects will be highlighted and you will be advised on any appropriate action required to rectify the problems. The surveyor uses equipment such as a damp-meter, binoculars and a torch, and uses a ladder for flat roofs and for hatches no more than 3m above level ground. For Level 2 surveys, loft inspections are limited to those demised to the property.

The surveyor also carries out a desktop study and makes enquiries for information about matters affecting the property.
