Building Surveys

Why choose Andrews Eades for Building Surveys?

A full building survey is the most comprehensive and detailed type of survey we offer, and is typically undertaken prior to completing the purchase of your chosen property. All of our building surveys are bespoke to each property and therefore are not constrained by a set pro-forma report structure. Within a building survey we would discuss and analyse every building element and detail from foundations, walls and roofs, to drainage, joinery and heating/electrical installations (and everything in between).

The building survey report will include a selection of annotated photographs to help illustrate the identified issues.

Every surveyor in our team that undertakes building surveys is a chartered building surveyor registered with the RICS.

Our team has decades of collective experience and knowledge in all types of building form and construction. Consequently, we are able to offer building surveys on every type of building from barn conversions and listed buildings, to flats and kit houses (and everything in between).

  • Detailed bespoke building surveys with annotated photographs.
  • All property types and ages catered for.
  • Gives a complete picture of property before agreeing final purchase details.
  • Highly experienced and knowledgeable chartered building surveyors undertake each survey.

What will the survey tell me?2023-08-24T11:05:32+01:00

We endeavour to provide a clear concise survey to provide advice from which to negotiate further on price if necessary. We look for defects and advise on the cause, effect and remedy.

I am concerned that my neighbour has started building work close to my property. What should I do?2023-08-24T11:04:03+01:00

If you have not been served with a party wall notice by your neighbour then it may be that the proposed works are not notifiable under the Act, however there are occurrences where the works are notifiable but the neighbour has not served prior notice. In either case we would recommend giving us a call for further advice as the action required will vary depending on the circumstances. In the immediate term however you could ask your neighbour to cease works until confirmation has been provided by a party wall professional, and take photographs of your property to record its condition.

What is the difference between a Homebuyers Report (HBR) and a Building Survey?2023-08-24T11:03:15+01:00

In essence a HBR and building survey will cover the same elements of a building, however a building survey offers a more comprehensive and detailed level of analysis. Our building surveys are bespoke reports tailored to each property, so they do not follow a set pro-forma report structure like our HBRs, which are based on the RICS HBR report template. Given the varied nature of materials and construction techniques found in pre-1945 properties, we will only offer a building survey on such properties as this is the only way to ensure we have adequate scope to fully cover the building in the report.

I have a specific defect with my current property can you help?2023-08-24T11:06:07+01:00

Yes, we are able to inspect, report and then make recommendations on any specific property defect. This is usually prepared in the form of a letter report and is tailored to suit your specific needs. Please contact us for more information,
