Surveying in Nelson

Surveying comes in various forms. Many homeowners will come across 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 ensure the home buyer is completely aware of the condition of the house they are buying, along with any probable problems around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for buildings where the buyer is less certain of its condition, a full building survey can be performed, 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 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 performed after a new build is finished to point out any issues or defects with the quality of the property which may then be rectified.

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