A Building Survey

A building survey (formerly known as a Structural Survey) is a kind of 'health check' for buildings and will advise you of any potential problems with the building. It is designed to help you make a more informed decision and offer reassurance and real peace of mind. Fees for this type of survey are always payable in advance.

If you are buying a property, you should have a survey done before you enter into a contract (or before making an offer, if you intend to buy at Auction.) A survey can actually save you money. If there are serious problems, you can often re-negotiate the sale price of the property to reflect the cost of necessary repairs, or you may even decide you do not want to buy it at all. Chartered Surveyors Lymington and Ringwood.

Valuation

We can give you a market valuation for property and land to ensure the correct price has been agreed whether selling or buying.

Party Wall Act 

If you intend to carry out construction or alterations which involve:lymington

  • Work on a wall, floor or ceiling shared with another property
  • Building on the boundary with another property
  • Excavating within 6 metres of an adjoining building

You may find that the work falls within the scope of this Act. If it does, you must serve statutory Notices on all those defined by the Act as adjoining owners. This is quite separate from any need for planning permission and/or building regulation approval. Chartered Surveyors Lymington and Ringwood.

The Act provides a fair solution to the problems that are frequently encountered when building on or adjacent boundaries or in confined areas.

Boundary Disputes 

Far more boundary disputes occur between the owners of two adjacent residential properties than between commercial neighbours. Residential landowners tend to tackle their disputes emotionally seeking perceived justice rather than rationally evaluating the situation considering amicable solutions to the dispute.
This is where the experienced Boundary Surveyor comes into their own and can save clients many thousands in legal fees by good arbitration based upon sound legal principles.  

Project Management

We assess every building project, whether large or small and to avoid the pitfalls of finding reliable and capable contractors, encountering financial conflict and the time consuming organisation of tradesmen, FYR clients find it beneficial to employ our building & construction project management services to ensure a smooth process from concept to delivery.

We consider the needs of every client to be unique and will work closely with each client through all phases of their project; from pre-construction to design, to actual construction work and post construction requirements to guarantee faultless service from beginning to end.

CDM Coordinators

We offer this specialist service by an experienced RMAPS CDM Coordinator who boasts Procter and Gamble and TNT as regular clients. 

Fire Assessments

We can provide Fire Assessments also known as Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Engineering advice by experienced personnel to comply with the Fire Safety Order 2005.chartered surveyors bournemouth.

Legionella Assessments

Survey Terms and Conditions

Building Survey Southampton

1.The Report is provided for the sole use of the named Client and is confidential to the Client and his professional advisers. The Surveyor accepts responsibility to the Client alone for the stated purposes of the Report which will be prepared, with the skill, care and diligence reasonably to be expected of a competent Surveyor, but no responsibility whatsoever is accepted to any person other than the Client himself. Any such person relies upon the Report at entirely their own risk.

2 Neither the whole nor any part of the document or any reference thereto may be included in any published document circular or statement nor published in any way without the Surveyor's written approval of the form and the context in which it may appear.House survey in Southampton.

3. Inaccessible flat roofs over 3 metres (10 feet) above ground will not be inspected unless they can be viewed from a higher window. Unless the overall roof exterior shows signs of sagging/dishing or other visual failure the surveyor will not be liable for faults incurred by faulty design/construction. Lofts can only be fully inspected if not impeded by stored items and are safely boarded to comply with Sec 3 HASWA 1974. 

4. In making the Report, the following assumptions will be made by the Surveyor (and these are therefore matters for which no responsibility can be accepted by the Surveyor):

I. that no deleterious material was used in the construction of the Property or has since been incorporated (including high alumina cement concrete, calcium chloride additive and asbestos) ;

II. that the Property is not subject to any unusual or especially onerous restrictions, encumbrances or outgoings and that good title can be shown;

III. that the Property and its value are unaffected by any matters which would be revealed by a local search or replies to the usual enquiries, or by any statutory notice and that neither the Property nor its condition, not its use, nor its intended use is or will be unlawful;

IV. that inspection of those parts which have not been inspected would neither reveal material defects nor cause the Surveyor to alter the advice given in the Report materially.

5. The Surveyor will provide his opinion of the state of repair and condition of the Property specified. The Surveyor will not provide a market value of the Property unless expressly agreed prior to carrying out the survey.

6.The Surveyor will not be responsible for arranging the testing of services (water, electricity, gas, oil, drainage, plumbing, hot water and central heating installations) unless specifically instructed to do so. In regard to the services the Surveyor is not an expert; comments made regarding the service installations are intended as general comments only. Only by inspection and testing by an engineer appropriately qualified in the relevant discipline can the condition of the services and their compliance with current regulations be confirmed.

7.If the service installations are disconnected, switched off or drained down at the time of inspection they will not be connected, switched on or charged with water for the purposes of the inspection unless previously arranged and undertaken by an appropriately qualified engineer of operative commissioned by the owner of the property or the Client.

8. It is possible that the Report will suggest further investigation works to be carried out by a specialist firm, e.g. structural engineer, timber specialist, damp specialist, drainage engineer or electrical engineer. On no account will liability be accepted if a purchaser proceeds without obtaining and acting upon the relevant further advice. Southampton

9. No geological or ground/soil surveys will be carried either via maps or trial holes, no environmental survey will be carried out re flooding or Radon although these can be arranged separately by specialists. Insect / Fungal / Plant infestation is precluded and should be investigated separately.

10.The Survey Report will not purport to express an opinion about or to advise upon the condition of uninspected parts and should not be taken as making any implied representation or statements about such parts.

11.The Surveyor will carry out such work with the skill, care and diligence reasonably to be expected of a competent Surveyor, bearing in mind the limitation of the inspection. Fitted or fixed carpets will not be lifted or cupboards emptied or heavy furniture moved unless specifically requested or agreed.

12.The Surveyor will inspect as much of the surface area as is practicable and will lift loose floorboards and trap doors where accessible but he will be under no obligation to raise fixed floorboards or to inspect those areas of the Property that are covered, unexposed or are not reasonably accessible.

13.Except where the contrary is stated parts of the structure and the woodwork which are covered, unexposed or inaccessible will not be inspected. Within roof spaces where access is possible, the Surveyor will be under no obligation to report on the condition of the roof and ceiling timbers which are covered by insulation or similar materials or when stored household effects significantly restrict or obstruct inspection.

14.Without specific written instructions, the Surveyor will not report on the condition of out buildings inc garages in separate blocks, swimming pools, ponds, watercourses and special apparatus.

15.Where the Property being inspected is a flat or part of a larger building, the inspection will be restricted to that flat or part. Other parts of the building will only be inspected at the Surveyors discretion or where there is visual evidence that they may involve the owner of the subject Property in substantial maintenance costs.

16.The Report shall provide information as to the overall condition of the Property in relation to the quality of the structure and not as an inventory of every single defect which might insignificantly affect the ultimate value. Surveys

17. Regulations affecting all building types are subject to periodic, sometimes frequent, amendment. The subject Property should not be expected to meet all current Regulations unless it is new. As a general rule, the Regulations affecting buildings are not retrospective. The Report will not list all contraventions of current Regulations except where it is considered failure to comply with the Regulations has resulted in a risk to health, safety or structural stability.

18.This firm operates a Complaints Handling Procedure requirements and a copy of the this Procedure is available upon request.
