Surveying in Consett

Surveying comes in a number of forms. Many homeowners will encounter a Home Buyer’s Survey as part of the process of buying or selling a home. The Home Buyer’s Survey is carried out to guarantee the home buyer is entirely aware of the condition of the home they are buying, alongside any potential concerns around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for buildings where the buyer is less assured of its condition, a full building survey can be accomplished, which goes into more detail than a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will identify any further problems with the house as well as involving an inspection 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 executed after a new build is completed to highlight any concerns or defects with the quality of the building which can then be rectified.

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