We believe if a survey is worth doing it should be done properly and recommend this survey in most situations, essential for larger, older or run down properties, or a building that is unusual or altered, or if you’re planning major works. Formerly known as a ‘Structural Survey’ this report is the most comprehensive report and provides detailed information about the structure and fabric of the property. This service includes:
- A detailed visual inspection of the building, its services and the grounds and is more extensive than a
survey level 2
- Concealed areas normally opened or used by the occupiers are inspected if it is safe to do so (typical
examples include roof spaces, basements and cellars)
- Although the services are not tested, they are observed in normal operation – in other words, they are
switched on or off and/or operated where the occupier has given permission and it is safe to do so.you
with an in-depth analysis of the property’s condition, including advice on defects, repairs and
maintenance options
- Objectively describes the form of construction and materials used for different parts of the property. It
describes the condition and provides an assessment of the relative importance of the defects/
problems
- Describe the identifiable risk of potential or hidden defects in areas not inspected
- Propose the most probable cause(s) of the defects based on the inspection
- Outline the likely scope of any appropriate remedial work and explain the likely consequences of non-repair; and make general recommendations in respect of the priority and likely timescale for necessary work
- Provides specific comments on energy efficiency
- If agreed provide estimated costs for identified repairs.
Where agreed as a separate service, provides a building reinstatement assessment to avoid
under or over insurance value
