Surveying comes in numerous forms. Lots of homeowners will experience a Home Buyer’s Survey within the process of selling or buying a house. The Home Buyer’s Survey is carried out to ensure the home buyer is totally informed of the condition of the house they are buying, along with any potential concerns around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older buildings or for properties where the buyer is less certain of its condition, a full building survey can be performed, which goes into more detail when compared to a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will point out any additional issues with the house as well as including an inspection of the land surrounding the building.
Other types of survey include a land survey, which will carry out an assessment of the condition of the land. Surveyors can also carry out snagging reports, which are carried out after a new build is finalised to highlight any concerns or defects with the quality of the building which may then be rectified.
When searching for a company to attempt surveying work, ensure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

Abercraf is a village in Brecknockshire in the county of Powys, Wales and has a population of 696. It is in the south of the county in the Upper Swansea Valley, 2.5 miles north-east of Ystradgynlais. It sits just outside of the boundaries of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Fforest Fawr Geopark.
Abercraf has a history in coal and iron. Thomas Harper, the resident coalowner, established a small ironworks in 1824. The British Iron Company bought the works a year later for £19,541 and leased minerals on the neighbouring mountain, Cribarth. It was unsuccessful and it ceased production in 1826 when they found that costs were exceeding the selling price.
The village has a range of amenities, including pubs, a rugby union club, a primary school and a fire station. It also has a Miners’ Welfare Hall, keeping the tradition of its coal mining past.
Abercraf sits among the slopes of the small mountain Cribarth, which is notorious for its ‘Sleeping Giant’ outline. The Giant is formed from a combination of the natural topography of the mountain and abandoned limestone quarries.
