Surveying comes in many different forms. Many homeowners will experience a Home Buyer’s Survey included in the procedure of selling or buying a property. The Home Buyer’s Survey is completed to ensure the home buyer is totally informed of the condition of the property they are buying, as well as any likely concerns around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older buildings or for buildings 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 problems with the property as well as involving an assessment of the land surrounding the building.
Other types of survey include a land survey, which will carry out an examination of the condition of the land. Surveyors can also undertake snagging reports, which are conducted after a new build is completed to point out any problems or defects with the quality of the property which can then be rectified.
When looking for a company to undertake surveying work, ensure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
