A Building Survey is the most thorough and detailed report that you can commission on the condition of a property. When commissioning a Chartered Surveyor to carry out a survey, you should be able to feel confident that the results will be appropriate for your needs. The objective for Building Surveys is to identify any particular problems that may exist with a property before you finalise an agreement to purchase. Experienced Building Surveyors like ourselves, will be able to cast an expert's eye over the building with the possibility that we may pick up things that you could have missed.
