What is included in a Building Survey?
The Royal institute of Chartered Surveyors provides guidance on what you can expect to have included in your survey report.
The main areas included in the inspection are assessments for signs of subsidence, testing for damp, a review of drains and a loft and roof space inspection.
Checks are also made to identify any signs of asbestos or infestation which may require further specialist checks.
Utilities are assessed and any recommendations made if any concerns about age and condition are identified.
Testing of equipment cannot be carried out as tests can only be carried out by qualified specialists such as plumbers or electricians based locally in Darlington.
The surveyor provides recommendations in the legal section of the report which should be passed to the legal adviser carrying out the conveyancing to ensure any necessary enquiries are raised with the vendor’s solicitor.
