Why do I need a Building Survey?

If you are purchasing a property in Bedfordshire, we cannot stress enough that you should always have a building survey carried out on it. A building survey, prepared by a chartered building surveyor could quite literally save you thousands of pounds by uncovering potential problems in the property which to the untrained eye are not detected.

We use specialist surveying equipment such as the damp meters shown in the photograph and thermal imaging cameras to ensure there are no hidden problems in the property.
