Building Survey

Is a RICS Building Survey Right For Me?

We recommend the RICS building survey if:
 

• The property is in poor condition

• It is more than 100 years old

• It has been built using unconventional methods or materials

• It has already been significantly altered or extended

• You want to make major alterations to the property

Why Do I Need A RICS Building Survey?

The RICS Building Survey is ideal for peace of mind on any property, especially a property that needs a lot of work or one that you want to make major alterations to.

The RICS Building Survey provides the detailed assessment and technical advice you need to aid your buying decision.
 

A number of standard-setting and consumer organisations (including Which? and The Council of Mortgage Lenders) recommend getting an independent home survey before committing to purchasing a property.


What Does A RICS Building Survey Give Me?

A RICS Building Survey is a detailed assessment of the structure and the construction methods used in a property. The RICS Building Survey Report will identify any serious defects or problems with the property, and gives you technical advice on how these problems should be solved.


The Survey also advises on future maintenance issues, so that you can plan ahead, and highlights any potential legal issues that you might want your solicitor to investigate.

 

This Report is tailored to your specific requirements and follows best practice guidelines from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

Recent Testimonials

"I am very satisfied with the professional and friendly service we received from CVP Surveyors. From the first phone call, Claudinia was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them."

Katarzyna Matyaszek

"Claudinia reorganised her diary in order to accommodate our survey, which we needed at short notice that Friday. She worked out of hours over the weekend and into the evening in order to deliver her report on the Monday. We spoke multiple times on the phone to answer all of my questions, which was enormously helpful. I would strongly recommend using CVP."

Oli Dugmore
