Surveying in Runcorn

Surveying can come in numerous forms. Many homeowners will come across a Home Buyer’s Survey included in the procedure of buying or selling a property. The Home Buyer’s Survey is completed to make sure that the home buyer is completely aware of the condition of the property they are buying, along with any probable 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 highlight any additional defects with the house as well as involving an inspection of the land surrounding the building.

Surveyors can also help with any extensions, conversions or alterations that you would like to have done on your current property. They can provide advice about how your extension could impact your neighbours, either in terms of their right to light or by demanding a party wall agreement.

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