Our Residential Building Surveys and our Commercial Building Surveys are tailor made to suit your requirements. When you book your survey we will ask you to grade your property knowledge from 1 - 4, with 1 being 'next to no property knowledge' and 4 being 'excellent property knowledge'. From this we can tailor make your survey. Depending upon your knowledge level we will add additional photographs to the survey or will give you more definitions of building terminology, or add extra sketches to help describe particular areas of concern or to show you for example what type of roof your proposed property has or what type of brickwork the property is built in. By doing this we can make sure that you completely understand the property you are buying and that you understand what the issues are.
