Building Condition Surveys

Please note: We are currently unable to offer services

Employ our Chartered Surveyors to perform a comprehensive survey for your next property purchase.

We provide comprehensive property surveys through our Building Condition Survey, which is more in depth than a Home Buyer Report. A Home Buyer Report looks at the property and a surveyor would formulate an opinion as to whether a property is value for money. With a Building Condition Survey, we take a thorough look at the whole property and provide a detailed opinion of the current condition.

We find that our Building Condition Survey will provide a more in depth appraisal of the property’s physical condition and is suited to all types of properties of all ages. For more specific issues, we can offer our expertise in Building Pathology to investigate and diagnose problem areas offering technical advice in repair and reinstatement.

For all your building condition surveys needs, you can contact:

Peter Riches on 01206 505709, or email peter@mrallp.co.uk
