Our Chartered Surveyors are able to provide building surveys on all types of residential property for a variety of purposes across the Torquay area.
Our Chartered Surveyors are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and take pride in their accuracy, experience and proven track record.
In particular, the practice focuses on assisting clients with building surveys, home surveys, house purchase surveys and homebuyer style reports to assist property purchasers.
Building Surveys
These were formerly known as
Structural Surveys
and are the most comprehensive type of non-invasive survey inspection of a house, home or other property you can have. As a visitor to the property that is usually a building not owned by the client, the surveyor cannot cause damage to the property. We can however examine a lot more than somebody viewing the property with an eye to purchasing the property. Based on our training and experience in building construction, the survey will enable us to write a full survey report to advise the property purchaser.
Any property that is older than 1900 or is a period and/or listed structure is recommended to have a full building survey.
Home Purchase Report
There are several variations on name of this kind of survey. These include:
Homebuyers Report
House Purchase Survey
Major Defects Report
These are the most common kind of report carried out on properties typically built from 1900 onwards. These are a survey inspection of all the easily accessible parts of the property which will include such areas as the roofspace. For most more modern properties, this will be the most typical kind of home survey which will put a property purchasers’ mind at ease with a survey inspection and report being provided, often with a list of property defects and an indication of how important these would be to a typical property purchaser.
Other Survey Types
A number of other building surveys and property inspections can be carried out but involve confirmation with our Chartered surveyor. These include:
Major Elements Surveys
Acquisition Advice Inspections
Single Fault Assessments
and several other variations including
New Build Snagging Survey Inspections
It is recommended that you call us to discuss the most appropriate type of property survey or inspection that suits you as a client.
