Building Condition Survey
Our Condition Surveys are designed to ensure your property is safe and structurally sound at all times. Our team of chartered building surveyors can identify and deal with any potential hazards in your building.
What is a Building Condition Survey?
A Condition Survey is an inspection of a property to assess its current physical condition. The survey will identify any defects or problems with the property, as well as any areas that may need future repairs or maintenance work. For example, our chartered surveyors might uncover hazardous materials or issues with the building’s infrastructure.
What’s the difference between a Building Condition Survey and a Condition Report?
A Building Condition Survey is a much more comprehensive document than Condition Survey Reports. They provide you with an in-depth analysis of the condition of the building, as well as recommendations for repair and maintenance. A Condition Report, on the other hand, is a less detailed document that simply provides an overview of the condition of the building for property owners.
Why should I get a Building Condition Survey?
By identifying potential problems early on, a Condition Survey can help prevent costly repairs or replacements down the road. Additionally, a well-documented condition survey can provide valuable information to prospective buyers or tenants and make your property portfolios stand out.
At its most basic, a building condition survey entails a thorough visual inspection of the property in question, inside and out. All major systems and components are typically evaluated, including the roof, walls, windows, doors, floors, ceilings, and HVAC system. The condition of each element is then documented in a report, along with any recommendations for repairs or replacement. You can make informed decisions from our excellent service and keep your property in the best condition possible.
Who conducts a Building Survey?
A Building Condition Survey is conducted by chartered surveyors, who are members of approved bodies like RICS. The professional assessor will gain an understanding of the current condition of a building and this information can be used to make decisions about repairs, maintenance or future development.
What type of property is a Building Condition Survey for?
A building survey can be carried out on all types of properties, from old buildings to contemporary ones. If you’re thinking of purchasing a commercial or industrial property, getting a Building Condition Survey is a good idea. This type of survey will give you an overview of the property’s condition, including any major repairs that may be needed. It can also help you negotiate a better purchase price if there are any issues with the property.
What’s included in a Building Condition Survey?
A Building Condition Survey can help you understand the condition of a property before you purchase it. The survey will assess the condition of the property, including any structural damage that may be present. The surveyor will identify any potential problems and will provide a report with their findings and recommendations. They will note matters that will affect the value of the property in the future and this can be used to negotiate a better purchase price or help you decide if the property is right for you.
