Surveying in Ballymena

Surveying can come in a number of forms. Most homeowners will experience a Home Buyer’s Survey included in the process of buying or selling a house. The Home Buyer’s Survey is completed to make sure that the home buyer is entirely informed of the condition of the home they are buying, as well as any possible problems around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for properties where the buyer is less confident of its condition, a full building survey can be accomplished, which goes into more detail than a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will point out any further defects with the house as well as involving an assessment of the land surrounding the building.

Surveyors can also assist with any extensions, conversions or modifications that you intend to have done on your existing property. They will offer advice about how your extension might have an effect on your neighbours, either in terms of their right to light or by requiring a party wall agreement.

When looking for a company to attempt surveying work, make sure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
