Can I add a valuation to my homebuyer or building survey?
Yes, For those opting for our RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Survey or RICS Level 3 Building Survey, we can also include a professional market valuation of your property for an additional fee. This means you’ll receive not only a clear condition report, but also a current valuation to assist with your purchase decision or price negotiations. Please ask us for a tailored quote when booking to add this optional service.
How long does a survey take?
The length of a survey is very much dependent on the surveyors findings and the size of the property.
For example if the surveyor is only assessing a lounge and a kitchen it should take anywhere between one hour and one and a half, however, if it is a 5 bedroom house it could be anywhere between three to five hours.
Will you need to access my roof?
We will need to gain access to the roof space, especially if you have water ingress or a leak within that area.
If the source can be pinpointed but not accessed internally, we may send up an aerial drone to inspect the roof without the need for expensive access equipment.
Will I get a report afterwards?
Depending on size and complexity of the property. Level 2 within 3 working days and Level 3 within 5 working days.
Do you undertake the works after the survey has been carried out?
As we are specialist independent surveyors, we do not work in conjunction with contractors, or builders, therefore we do not undertake the remedial works, but do list the specific works needed in the standard comprehensive report.
That way we can offer an unbiased and honest report as we have no financial gain from any remedial works carried out following the survey.
Why would I need an aerial survey?
An aerial survey is an efficient way of carrying out inspections of your roof, gutters, spire, clock towers and chimneys.
An aerial drone survey also prevents the need to have expensive access equipment erected.
