Surveying can come in numerous forms. Most homeowners will come across a Home Buyer’s Survey as part of the process of selling or buying a house. The Home Buyer’s Survey is undertaken to make certain that the home buyer is totally knowledgeable about the condition of the property they are buying, along with any possible issues 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 undertaken, 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 assessment of the land surrounding the building.
Other types of survey include a land survey, which will involve an assessment of the condition of the land. Surveyors can also undertake snagging reports, which are performed after a new build is finished to point out any concerns or defects with the quality of the building which may then be rectified.
When searching for a company to undertake surveying work, make sure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
