We know how stressful moving can be and that having your home surveyed only adds to that stress.
We hope that by explaining what we will do when surveying your home will help to ease the process.
To carry out our survey we will need to inspect your property in detail both externally and internally.
Photographs will be taken inside and outside. We will use binoculars to look at your roofs and chimneys and
ladders to look at flat roofs, (don't worry we bring our own ladders). We will also look at any fixed
outbuildings such as garaging and outside stores or workshops as well as your gardens. Can you please ensure
that keys are available.
Drains are also inspected and we will lift all drain covers. It would be very helpful if before we visit you
could move any heavy plant pots etc that you may have on top of the covers and check that the lids are not rusted up.
To check for dampness we use a small hand held damp meter to walls, floors and other surfaces. Inside we will
have to look in your loft space so if you have filled your attic with boxes it would be greatly appreciated
if some space could be cleared. We will not however start to tear up your fitted carpets nor will we be moving
large items of furniture, but will have to look in any fitted cupboards such as airing cupboards. Our survey
is limited to those areas that are readily accessible.
If you have any documents that may be relevant it is very useful for us to be able to inspect these such as plans and consents
for alterations, guarantees, for example damp and timber treatments, double glazing and cavity wall insulation.
If your property was built before 1950 (or 1960 in parts of East Cornwall) and you have a Mundic report it would be useful
if you could have this to hand.
You must bear in mind that our client is your buyer and we ask you to understand that we will not be able to discuss
our findings with you even though it is your property.
Once an appointment has been made if there is anything you feel you
want to ask us then the surveyor who will be visiting will be happy to
speak to you or for vendor enquiries please email us at:
