Structural Survey

 

Defects pathology is the science of investigating a defect in a building and identifying the cause.  Alan Holmes Chartered Building Surveyor specialise in such investigations and supply a comprehensive report on the cause of dampness, structural movement and other defects.  Our report identifies the cause of the defect and recommends remedial works with estimated cost of repairs. 

 

Defects often only become apparent at the point of sale and Alan Holmes Chartered Building Surveyor will act quickly and efficiency to ensure the minimum of delay.  From £175.00 plus VAT.

 

Homebuyers Survey & Valuation

 

The Homebuyers Survey and Valuations provides the purchaser of a property with a comprehensive report, which refers to building defects and deficiencies.  The report is written in the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ standard terms for plain understanding.  The report provides an open market value of the property reflecting its condition at the time of the inspection.

 

Ideal for purchases of relatively modern, traditional properties.  From £260.00 to £500.00 plus VAT.

 

Full structural survey / Building Surveys

 

When a property is older, or of non-traditional construction, or is in a dilapidated condition we recommend that a Full Structural Survey is carried out.  This is a very thorough survey.  The comprehensive report identifies building defects and provides an estimated cost of repair, allowing the purchaser the opportunity to consider the cost of future repairs. 

 

From £550.00, quotations provided over the phone.
