Why use an Independent Remedial Surveyor

Buying a property is the single most expensive financial investment that we make in our lives , it's an asset providing security for your future in latter life. Whether you are buying or selling a property you will have a Building Survey carried out to ascertain the condition and market value on behalf of the mortgage lender.

Many contracting specialist companies carry out "FREE" or even charge for a survey / report. This is because they have an interest in selling expensive treatments, or their services. Many employ sales based surveyors on commission. Can you be sure that their report is going to give you an impartial and objective opinion of works that may or may not need doing?.

In the most part like all other commercial businesses sales targets must be achieved to ensure the viability and financial stability of the company Most people will get up to three reports complete with quotes,and these often conflict in advise given......this can be confusing, and misleading. It also sounds expensive!!.

It is important to determine whether a problem if any is expensive specialist remedial work or cheaper general builders work.

It is therefore logical to first seek advise from an Independent Surveyor, who has no financial interest in looking for work or problems that do not exist.

Why Dampness and Decay are a threat

"Movement, timber defects and dampness are,in their various forms, the three greatest potential threats to the structure of a building.......Where a problem is judged to be serious, it might prove necessary for a separate, detailed examination to be undertaken - perhaps by specialists ............ thefull extent of timber rot might require further investigation" -Extract taken from a section of RICS Report
