Our Building Surveys

Buying a house is one of the most expensive purchases you will ever make and it is important to ensure you are buying it at the right price and that there is nothing significantly wrong with it before you commit to purchase. Having an independent building survey will offer you just that.

Our survey reports are written in plain English, with a detailed executive summary advising you of any problems we find and solutions, together with approximate costs of works. We welcome you come along to the survey and meet the surveyor so he can understand your needs and also talk through his findings. We provide a quick turn around as we understand how important this is to the client.

Our surveyors use the latest equipment, including electronic damp meters, humidity meters, digital cameras and thermal imaging cameras. We add photographs throughout our reports, together with surveying sketches, to help explain any property problems we encounter during the survey.

We can also offer you a valuation of the property, although please note this is not for mortgage purposes.

There are so many costs involved in buying a new house and moving that it is important to ensure you have control over the costs. One of the biggest costs is not the building survey but the problems with the property that could be found after you move in. We are more than happy to talk to you about the type of property you are looking to buy and we are sure we will be able to send you an example survey as we have surveyed nearly every type of building there is.

 

Testimonial of one of our Surveys

I have used the same 1st Associated Surveyor twice now and I am satisfied that he always does a very thorough job. Once the building survey was completed I did purchase the pub although the actual buying process was harder than I thought it would be. It started the beginning of August and ended the beginning of December! I found the building survey from 1st Associated was very readable and easy to understand. Overall this was an excellent survey and I would definitely use 1st Associated again and recommend them to family and friends.
