Surveys
Andrew McLean offers a wide knowledge of the local property market and this can be invaluable particularly with reference to surveying property in areas of the town which can be affected by local features ranging from trees, subsidence, underground streams, defective materials etc.
There are currently 2 forms of survey available from this office, namely the HomeBuyer Report or a Building Society valuation type of report.
HomeBuyer Report
The HomeBuyer Report is a more detailed report which has proved popular in the last few years as it offers advice which is in more detail than a simple Building Society type Valuation.
The HomeBuyer Report has been updated to provide condition ratings to elements of the building, the services and any garages and permanent buildings. The Surveyor will tell you whether defects are serious or urgent. It also includes the Surveyor's opinion of the market value and re-instatement cost. The Report also includes other valuable information.
My office does not provide Building Surveys (these used to be called structural surveys) but I can advise on where to seek this service if required.
