Surveying in Broadstairs

Surveying comes in a variety of forms. A majority of homeowners will encounter a Home Buyer’s Survey as part of the procedure of buying or selling a house. The Home Buyer’s Survey is undertaken to make certain that the home buyer is fully aware of the condition of the home they are buying, coupled with any possible concerns around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older buildings or for buildings where the buyer is less certain of its condition, a full building survey can be executed, which goes into more detail when compared to a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will highlight any additional defects with the house as well as including an examination of the land surrounding the building.

Surveyors can also help with any extensions, conversions or modifications that you would like to have done on your current property. They can offer advice about how exactly your alteration might impact your neighbours, either in terms of their right to light or by needing a party wall agreement.

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