| A
building survey ensures prospective purchasers are given comprehensive
advice following our thorough inspection of the property. It does
not highlight all minor defects, but draws attention to items that
need immediate repair or possible maintenance expenditure of an unusual
nature or above-average cost. The report is confidential to our client,
the prospective purchaser.
The extent of the survey is limited by occupation;
fixtures and fittings such as cupboards and carpets. If a hidden
defect is suspected, the vendor's permission is required before
any further investigation can take place. This includes inspection
of wall cavities, where small holes may need to be drilled. Ladders
and other equipment are used, subject to safety at all times. An
informed visual inspection is made of the electrical and central
heating systems. We advise when we feel you would benefit from specialist
advice and can arrange further tests for you.
