Building Surveys

Industry guidelines recommend this type of survey if your property is large, old, has some disrepair or has unusual features. Guidelines also recommend Full Building Surveys if you plan to do any significant renovations or extensions. At Imperium Chartered Surveyors, we think that these RICS Level 3 surveys are the best option for getting a complete understanding of what you are buying, whatever the property age or type.

Full building surveys provide thorough, bespoke guidance on build type, condition, structural integrity and maintenance issues. Our RICS building surveyors provide a comprehensive inspection of the property. Wherever possible, the building surveyor will look over the entire property, including the attic, cellar, under loose carpets and behind furniture. Everything that can be looked at, will be looked at.

You will receive a very detailed report with advice on visible faults and potential hidden defects. The report will also tell you the types and costs of repairs that are needed and what property maintenance measures will be required. In addition, it provides guidance on environmental hazards and highlights issues that your legal advisor should look into. The information will be in-depth and tailored to the property type and your needs.
