Residential Building Surveys
Our detailed building surveys identify structural issues and defects in residential properties. Conducted by RICS-certified surveyors, these inspections cover all accessible areas to assess property condition. Ideal for older homes or properties requiring major renovations, our surveys provide comprehensive defect analysis and repair recommendations.
HomeBuyer Reports
RICS HomeBuyer Reports evaluate property condition using colour-coded ratings for defect urgency. These surveys help buyers make informed decisions by highlighting critical repairs and valuation factors. Our reports include market valuations and rebuilding cost estimates for insurance purposes.
Schedules of Condition
We create detailed condition records for lease agreements, documenting property state before occupation. These photographic reports protect tenants from unfair repair claims at lease end. Essential for commercial leases, our schedules establish baseline property conditions.
Dilapidation Reports
Our dilapidation reports assess property condition at lease termination to determine required repairs. These legally supported documents help landlords recover repair costs from outgoing tenants. We provide photographic evidence and clear repair specifications.
EPC Assessments
We conduct Energy Performance Certificates for residential and commercial properties, assessing energy efficiency ratings. Required for property sales and rentals, our assessments identify improvement opportunities. Our surveyors have completed thousands of EPCs since 2007.
