What does a building survey include?
A comprehensive building survey examines all accessible parts of a property including the structure, roof, walls, floors, windows, doors, drainage, and utilities to identify defects, potential problems, and maintenance requirements.
How long does a building survey take?
A typical residential building survey takes 2-4 hours to complete on-site, with the full written report usually delivered within 10-12 working days after inspection.
What's the difference between a building survey and a homebuyer's report?
A building survey is more detailed and thorough than a homebuyer’s report, providing an in-depth analysis of the property’s condition including structural issues, while a homebuyer’s report is a more concise overview suitable for modern, conventional homes.
Do I need to be present during the building survey?
While not mandatory, being present toward the end of the survey is beneficial as it allows the surveyor to discuss any significant findings with you in person and address any specific concerns you might have about the property.
