Pre-purchase Heritage Surveys
If you've landed on this webpage, you are likely looking to purchase a property that is at least 100 years old and have questions about the building's condition. A Heritage Building Survey, or Level 3 survey, is particularly recommended for older structures. These properties are often built with traditional materials and can display complex construction techniques.
This detailed Heritage Building Survey will assess the property and its site, identifying any defects, including potential or hidden issues. It will provide insights into the likely causes of these issues and offer guidance on necessary rectification. You will receive a comprehensive breakdown of the building’s condition, prioritising problems from red (urgent, within 12 months) to green (within 6 to 10 years). This crucial information will help you make informed decisions regarding repairs, alterations, and maintenance, allowing for effective planning and budgeting.
As you consider purchasing an older home, it is wise to instruct a Chartered Building Surveyor regulated by RICS to conduct your pre-purchase survey. This professional adheres to high standards while inspecting your prospective historic building and possesses the expertise required for working with such structures. They understand traditional construction and can provide invaluable advice and guidance on defects and repairs. Our team of RICS Survey professionals is among the few who specialise in this area!
