Building Surveys & Pathology

BUILDING PATHOLOGY: During the life of a building, it is common due to weathering and wear and tear, that the building components and fabric will deteriorate. This deterioration eventually results in defects and sometimes unusual problems arising. If there are specific building defects, such as damp ingress, condensation, structural cracking, smells and ordours, etc. and you would like advise on or the cause and rectification, we can undertake a inspection and provide you with a report highlighting the cause and options of repair and cost guideline.

BUILDING SURVEYS: Are you confident that your building is appropriate and as useful as you think? Before you proceed with an acquisition or lease of a property, you may wish to consider if there are any structural issues that will give rise to potentially large repair costs. You may wish to consider from a professional prospective if the building is suitable for your needs (ie. enough lighting, power sockets, adaptability, etc.), does it comply with current legislation (Health & safety, disabled access, fire fighting provisions, etc.). Are there any complicated lease issues and onerous repairing obligations etc.

A building survey (until recently known as a structural survey), will reveal the exact benefits and deficiencies of the building. It will provide you with advise on appropriateness and suitability. It will also highlight any non-compliant items and the requirement necessary in order to comply. Click here to see the Standard Terms & Conditions for a building survey.

We can advise you on commercial property matters and put your mind at ease.
