Potential Buyer Building Surveys
When you’re preparing to buy a property, you’re making a huge financial commitment. It is because of this that you need to truly know the building you are purchasing and what condition it is in. You will have been cheated if you pay the full price for a property that is in poor condition and you do not want to be spending additional money on repairs and maintenance. If you’re in need of a building surveyor in Slough, look no further than our team here at Patterson Francis Associates, where we can offer you thorough building surveys.
Between commercial and domestic property, you will spend a lot of money just purchasing your chosen property. You don’t want to be further dragged down by investing in constant repairs just to bring its condition up to par. Getting a true value of a building simply requires a full survey to be undertaken. By having a full survey performed on the relevant property, you will be able to see certain issues that would otherwise go unnoticed until you purchased the property. A building survey is relatively simple but is invaluable, and it certainly should not be skipped as it has the potential to save you a lot of money.
A building survey consists of a comprehensive inspection, followed by a full report and a list of recommendations to be carried out. The roof, windows and doors are inspected, and all floors are checked. Damp levels are checked and timbers are examined for signs of damage such as woodworm or rot. Systems such as gas and heating are visually checked, and external aspects such as paths and fences are checked as well. Walls and foundations themselves are also checked to ensure that the foundation is not faulty in any way. Once the inspection has been completed, we will draw up and provide you with a full report on the condition of the property. Also included will be a list of recommendations in regards to issues and calculated repair cost to let you know how much you will need to spend on repairs, and thus how much you should offer for the property.
As members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, you can be fully assured that all surveys are carried out professionally and thoroughly. We pride ourselves on offering nothing less than the best possible standards of service and ensuring that every survey that we complete fully satisfies our customer and aids them with buying their property.
