What Is a Building Survey?

A building survey is a comprehensive visual examination of a property's accessible structural and architectural elements.

The survey is designed to identify visible defects, signs of deterioration, maintenance issues and areas that may require repair or further investigation. It provides buyers with a clearer understanding of the property's condition before completing the purchase.

Every survey is carried out independently and exclusively in the client's interest.
