Buying or selling a property is one of the biggest financial commitments most people make during a lifetime. Sussex Surveyors can help you to decide on the survey that is right for you. We offer the following survey alternatives:

Building Survey

Previously called a Full Structural Survey, a Building Survey is usually recommended by surveyors for older properties or where many previous alterations and additions have been carried out. This survey includes a detailed description of the construction of the property, inspection of all main building components including each room, as well as all roofs, floors, walls, windows, services, finishes, grounds and boundaries. The Surveyor will highlight the need for repair, specify remedial work and provide approximate costs for such work. An insurance reinstatement valuation is usually provided and a market valuation can be included at an additional charge.

HomeBuyer Report

This is suitable for conventional houses, bungalows and most flats in reasonable condition. The report is designed to be easy to read and grades defects in respect of their significance. This report includes a Market Value, which reflects any significant defects discovered during the inspection as well as an Insurance Reinstatement Figure for the property.

Home Condition Report

This report is the same as the HomeBuyer Report above but without a Valuation or an Insurance Reinstatement Figure for the property.

Valuation Report

A brief and concise report with the main intention of providing a valuation of the property as “security” for a loan to purchase. Major problems and failures should be noted but advice and future implications of failures are not included.

Valuations are frequently required for many purposes including Divorce, Tax Matters, Company Restructuring and Sale, Probate etc. All our surveyors are RICS Registered Valuers.
