Surveying in Tyne and Wear

Surveying comes in a number of forms. A majority of 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 completed to make certain that the home buyer is totally informed of the condition of the property they are buying, alongside any potential issues around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for properties where the buyer is less assured of its condition, a full building survey can be accomplished, which goes into more detail when compared to a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will point out any additional issues with the property as well as involving an assessment of the land surrounding the building.

Surveyors can also assist with any extensions, conversions or alterations that you would like to have done on your existing property. They will offer advice about how your extension might have an effect on your neighbours, either in terms of their right to light or by necessitating a party wall agreement.

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