We help homeowners, buyers, Investors and developers to make informed property decisions. Our services are designed to identify issues early, ensure transparency, and provide clear, actionable insight.
Building Surveys
A Building Survey is the most detailed inspection available, recommended for older, extended, or altered properties, or where significant concerns exist. The survey provides a thorough examination of the structure, including roofs, walls, floors, foundations and joinery, with particular emphasis on identifying structural movement, dampness, timber defects and other potential risks. Services, finishes and external areas are also assessed where accessible. Each section of the report is presented using a clear traffic light system (red, amber, green) to highlight defects, areas requiring attention, and elements found to be in satisfactory condition. The report not only explains visible issues but also considers potential hidden problems, their causes, and likely consequences if left unaddressed. Advice is given on required repairs, priorities and maintenance needs, providing you with a clear and practical understanding of the property’s overall condition before you commit to purchase or plan remedial works.
HomeBuyer Surveys
A HomeBuyer Survey, also known as a HomeBuyer Report, provides a thorough inspection of a property’s accessible areas, offering a clear overview of its general condition and highlighting significant defects that may affect its value or require attention. The survey examines structural elements, roofs, walls, floors, joinery, timber, and signs of damp, as well as services and external features where visible. Each section is presented using a red, amber, green traffic light system to clearly indicate defects, areas needing attention, and elements in satisfactory condition. The report explains the likely causes of any identified issues, their potential consequences, and provides guidance on necessary repairs and maintenance, giving you a practical understanding of the property before purchase or further investigation.
Roof Surveys
A Roof Survey provides a detailed inspection of all accessible roof elements, both externally and internally, including the structure, coverings, flashings, gutters, rainwater goods, insulation, and associated joinery. The survey assesses the condition, performance, and stability of the roof, identifying defects, signs of deterioration, and potential issues such as water ingress, timber decay, or structural movement. Internal inspections of accessible roof voids and structures allow assessment of trusses, rafters, purlins, and ceilings, providing a clear understanding of the roof’s overall condition, any necessary repairs, and guidance on maintenance to ensure longevity and performance.
Structural / Single Defect Reports
A Structural Defect or Single Defect Report provides a focused, bespoke assessment of a specific structural element or identified defect within a property. The inspection examines the affected area in detail, evaluating the cause, extent, and potential consequences of the defect, including any associated risks to the wider structure. The report offers clear, practical guidance on necessary remedial works, repair options, and ongoing monitoring, giving you a targeted understanding of the issue and confidence in how to address it efficiently and effectively.
Home Insight Surveys
(Coming Soon)
The only sellers survey report to meet the needs of sellers, Buyers, agents and conveyancers.
The Home Insight Survey is a comprehensive pre-sale report designed to meet the needs of sellers, buyers, agents, and conveyancers. Similar in scope to a Building Survey, it provides a detailed assessment of the property’s condition, covering roofs, walls, floors, timber, damp, structural elements, services, and external areas. The report identifies visible and potential hidden defects, offering clear guidance on repairs, maintenance, and risks. By providing a full understanding of the property’s condition before marketing, the Home Insight Survey helps sellers present their property confidently, supports smooth transactions, and reduces the risk of post-sale disputes.
Investment Reports
(Coming Soon)
The concise and pared style is designed to give corporate investors a quickly assimilated overview of key buying decision criteria.
The Investment Report is a focused, high-level assessment tailored for corporate investors, providing a concise overview of key factors that influence buying decisions. Designed for rapid appraisal, the report highlights structural condition, maintenance liabilities, potential risks, and opportunities within the property, enabling investors to quickly assimilate critical information without the detail of a full building survey. It provides clear guidance on the overall condition, likely expenditure, and strategic considerations, supporting informed decision-making and reducing the need for lengthy technical analysis prior to acquisition.
