Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about booking a survey, report turnaround, follow-up advice and what is included.
-
Ideally, you should arrange the survey after your offer has been accepted and before signing contracts. This allows time to review the findings and raise any concerns with your solicitor or the selling agent.
-
Inspection times depend on availability, property location and access arrangements. In many cases, inspections can be arranged within 24–48 hours, subject to workload and access.
-
Reports are typically issued within 2–3 working days after inspection, unless the property is unusually large, complex or requires additional review.
-
Yes. Follow-up advice is included so you can discuss the main findings, understand their significance and clarify the recommended next steps.
-
No. A mortgage valuation is usually prepared for the lender’s purposes and is not a detailed condition survey. A pre-purchase survey is designed to help you understand the visible condition of the property before you proceed.
-
Where significant defects or repair issues are identified, the report may help you make a more informed decision and raise relevant matters before proceeding. Any negotiation is ultimately a matter between the buyer, seller and their representatives.
-
Yes. We inspect apartments and duplex units. The inspection is generally focused on the internal unit and visible accessible areas. Common areas, management company matters and fire safety documentation may require separate review.
-
A standard survey is visual and non-invasive. It does not include opening-up works, testing services, BER assessment, legal boundary certification or specialist testing unless separately agreed.
