Designed for conventional properties of traditional construction that appear to be in reasonable condition, our building survey services include a Level 2 Home Survey which provides a clear overview of the property's condition. This survey highlights significant defects, urgent repairs, maintenance concerns, and areas requiring further investigation. The report is written in plain English to help purchasers make informed decisions before proceeding. Prior to instruction, a consultation is carried out to discuss the property, its age, construction type, and any concerns already identified by the client. This ensures that the inspection and reporting are appropriately focused on the areas most relevant to the purchase, and if needed, we can also connect clients with heritage consultants for properties of historical significance. For a more detailed assessment, consider our Level 3 Building Survey.

A comprehensive and detailed inspection suitable for older properties, altered or extended buildings, properties of non-standard construction, or those showing signs of defect or deterioration. The Level 3 Building Survey, part of our specialized building survey services, provides an in-depth analysis of the structure, construction, and condition of the property. This includes likely causes of defects, repair considerations, maintenance priorities, and potential risks associated with ownership. Each Level 3 survey begins with a detailed pre-survey consultation to understand the client's intentions for the property, proposed alterations, known concerns, and overall expectations. This process allows heritage consultants to tailor the inspection to the specific property and the individual requirements of the client, rather than relying on a generic approach.

We offer specialist building survey services tailored for historic, traditional, and character properties, including stone-built dwellings and period homes constructed using traditional materials and methods. Inspecting historic buildings requires a different approach compared to modern structures. Traditional construction behaves uniquely, and inappropriate repairs or alterations can lead to deterioration over time. Our heritage consultants pay particular attention to factors such as moisture movement, ventilation, the integrity of historic fabric, previous alterations, and the compatibility of repair materials. These surveys are highly bespoke and commence with an in-depth consultation before the inspection. During this process, we discuss the client's concerns, future plans for the building, and the specific nature of the property to ensure the survey, particularly our Level 3 Building Survey, accurately reflects both the complexity of the building and the needs of the purchaser.
