Building Surveys, House Surveys, Property Defect Surveys, Commercial Building Surveys ,
We are INDEPENDENT Surveyors which means we are not tied in with any money lender like many property surveyors are. When we are working for you we are 100% focused on giving you the best property advice and not advice which will benefit the lender.
Having a building survey is so important. We have saved clients many thousands of pounds over the years by bringing to their attention certain problems with the property, giving them the solution and also approximate repair costs which in some cases if left untouched could have ended up costing them thousands more.
I am so impressed with the layout and the way in which the survey is worded, even I could understand it. Thank you so much!
We are fully aware that for many people entering into the property world they have to cross their comfort zone and we are here to help. We produce our reports in an easy to understand way. We use photos and sketches throughout our reports to highlight any problems we may come across and if we do have to use jargon we will always define it for you.
And remember we are real people! We are always here to discuss any issues you may have either face to face or by phone.

As building surveyors we are often asked to work on not only a building survey but also a boundary walls dispute survey, a schedule of condition survey and a specific defect survey.

It is always a pleasure to carry out building surveys in the Norfolk area, particularly whilst we are surveying the older properties with thatch and pargetting render over a timber frame or perhaps the cob wall or napped flint that Norfolk is famous for. There is also the brown sandstone known as Carrstone which is found over in Hunstanton and all the way down to Kings Lynn. There are of course many traditional styles of property from different eras such as the Victorian. The Victorians used transported bricks for the walls and slates for the roofs with the more prestigious buildings constructed in stone or rendered in the fashion of the day in stucco. Commonly seen in a lot of the eastern and coastal areas are pantiles. These were transported over from Holland many years ago and are still popular and still commonly seen today.
If you feel that we have missed a type of architecture in this area we would always be pleased to hear from you. Please contact our freephone number 0800 298 5424.
We have written 1000's of informative articles which you will find below, many on property related problems and how to solve them. We hope you find them useful.
