Why have a Building Survey?
When buying a property as your family home or as a buy to let investment big decisions have to be made and we are here to help you to get it right. We will carry out a full top to toe survey of your property advising you of any problems we find along with the solution to the problem and approximate costs giving you the tools you need to make the right choices. We have many years of experience of the property world and can give you help and advice. Property problems not dealt with could end up costing you thousands of pounds in the months or years after you have purchased the property if you are not made aware of them initially.
Please call 0800 298 5424 to speak to an expert.
What our building surveys include
Our bespoke reports are written in plain English and if we do have to use jargon within the report we will always define it for you. We use photos taken with a super optical camera and sketches drawn up especially for us to better explain any problems we may come across or to highlight things of importance to you. And remember we are real people and are always available to chat to you both before and after the survey. |

Information from a Property Surveyor on towns and villages in Cambridgeshire
Thousands of visitors flock to the county of Cambridgeshire, which houses one of the oldest and most famous universities in the world, Cambridge University dating back to the 13th Century. Cambridge has a vast array of shops, cafes and restaurants for you to enjoy or you can take a relaxing punt down the River Cam.
Parts of the County are situated in Fenland (a reclaimed marshy area of land with a network of waterways) and as you travel around the region you cannot fail to be spellbound by how far you can see across the vast flat areas of land giving rise to spectacular sunsets.
The County was mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name of Grantbridgeshire.
