BUILDING SURVEYS
As Chartered Building Surveyors we are the only
discipline within the RICS who are specifically
trained in the execution of building surveys.
A building survey (formerly known as a structural
survey) differs from a valuation survey in that
it is not primarily concerned with value of the
property, only its condition and is generally in
more detail.
Typically our surveys will report on roofs, rainwater
drainage, external windows and doors, damp proofing,
roof space, internal ceilings, walls, floors, joinery
and services (heating, plumbing, etc). Also highlighted
is the condition of external paving, fences and
outbuildings. Any problems such as timber defects,
dampness or structural movements will be reported
on.
We survey a range of residential and commercial
buildings of various sizes and value.
If requested we would be pleased to include guidance
on repair costs and provide a market valuation.
The building survey can be custom made to client’s
individual needs, For example where a purchaser
intends to carry out substantial internal refurbishment
and would therefore not require a detailed report
on parts of the property that will be refurbished.
RICS HOMEBUYER REPORT AND VALUATION
For the smaller, newer house, bungalow or flat we
can prepare a HOMEBUYER SURVEY & VALUATION which
includes a limited inspection and concise report,
sufficient to convey our general opinion on the
quality and condition of the property. The report
is published in a standard format and includes a
market valuation and a building insurance valuation.
RIGHT TO BUY SURVEYS
Working in association with other property consultancies,
Arun Associates undertakes Right to Buy surveys
of Council owned residential properties.
The reports prepared are customed to the Local Authority’s
requirements and in many ways mirror the RICS Homebuyers
report.
