Our approach

We assess each property with regard to its age, construction, condition and visible alterations. Our reports explain the findings, supported by photographs, and identify defects, recommended next steps and matters for your legal adviser.

The detail and advice depend on the survey level. Inspections are visual and non-intrusive; any access restrictions or limitations are recorded in the report.

Report examples

The rubble stone front of a cottage with a deep red panelled door, an iron knocker, a shuttered window above and climbing plants across the wall.

Before and after your survey

We can help you choose a survey based on the property and your plans. Before the inspection, you can raise any particular concerns. Once you have received the report, a follow-up conversation gives you the opportunity to discuss the findings and recommendations.
