Commercial Building Surveys

If you are purchasing the Freehold interest in a factory, office, shop or other business property, whether for your own use or to be Leased, you will be responsible for maintaining the structure and fabric of the property.

The report can be tailored to suit your specific requirements and includes technical advise on identified problems a with recommendations on remedial work or future maintenance.

The main objective of the report is to provide professional advice to assist in making a reasoned and informed judgment on whether or not to proceed and to be clear on what decisions or actions should be taken. 

The report focuses on what the Surveyor considers to be urgent and/or significant matters such as structural movement or timber decay that, typically, affect negotiations and a decision to proceed.  Matters assessed as not urgent or not significant are outside the scope of the report and are generally not reported.

The report is not intended to highlight minor defects that would not, normally, affect a decision to proceed or negotiations.

This type of report does not include a Valuation as this falls outside our professional expertise. Nor do we usually include an Insurance Valuation, but this can be arranged at the same time if required.

Our Surveyors will always discuss your requirements before visiting the property and will be pleased to discuss any details arising once the inspection has been completed, and again when you have received the completed report.

The report will also be supplemented by a number of colour photographs illustrating the property and any defects noted during the inspection.
