Surveying in Warwick

Surveying comes in a variety of forms. Most homeowners will experience a Home Buyer’s Survey as part of the process of selling or buying a property. The Home Buyer’s Survey is carried out to make sure that the home buyer is completely knowledgeable about the condition of the home they are buying, as well as any possible concerns around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for properties where the buyer is less certain of its condition, a full building survey can be carried out, which goes into more detail than a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will point out any further defects with the property as well as involving an inspection of the land surrounding the building.

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

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