HOME BUYERS SURVEY
The site survey is broadly similar to that for Building/Structural surveys (see Building/Stuctural Surveys), but by selecting this service Clients are accepting minor defects may not be reported. The report will cover and describe any serious defects. The Home Buyers Survey is usually suitable for traditional properties built post 1950. Unusual form of construction, older or dilapidated buildings and larger properties may be more appropriate for a full Building Survey. A Chartered Surveyor will be pleased to give advice in this regard.
In order to provide a fee quotation the following information is normally required:-
• Approximate age of property
• Construction type (i.e. stone or brick)
• Size (i.e. number of rooms/bedrooms)
• Location
• Any unusual features
• An approximate valuation (i.e. Vendor's purchase price) is also helpful
