They can give you comprehensive insight into the property’s condition and its real value. With our help, clients have frequently salvaged savings in the thousands of pounds. How? By using our surveying service to determine the condition of the property and the nature and scope of the work that will need to be done to it in the near future.
Surveyors who hold accreditation from professional bodies such as RICS, CIOB & RPSA provide services that are crucial for the development and use of land and property, essential for informed recommendations regarding the buying, selling, and leasing of real estate.
What is a Chartered Surveyor?
A Chartered Surveyor is an expert trained to a very high level. Their role is to go to various types of property and produce surveys that cover most facets of buying, selling, or renting residential, commercial, or rural property. These surveys tend to be produced in a number of formats.
One is the RICS HomeBuyer report, which is different to the standard mortgage valuation, as it focuses on the property condition. The report is acceptable to banks and building societies as it carries with it sufficient insurance cover to protect the clients in the event that something missed in the property survey leads to a financial problem for the client after the property has been purchased.
Clients include owners or buyers of residential property, who might be in need of a survey; our panel of surveyors work with architects, who design the buildings; engineers, who do the structural work in buildings; and ultimately, the kinds of property developers and business owners who might invest in their future commercial property.
What types of work do Chartered Surveyors take care of?
Many important roles in numerous fields related to land, property, and construction are filled by chartered surveyors. They can assist with the checking of various kinds of property—for example, houses and office buildings—for serious structural problems, and they are adept at figuring out where any future problem areas might be. They are also good at valuing property (both residential and commercial) that is located in either urban or rural settings, and they can give you an accurate figure if you need to insure a property for use in your business or if you want to sell it.
After visiting a specific property, a Chartered Surveyor creates a thorough report that can serve a dual purpose. It aids the client or investor in deciding whether to purchase or lease a building, and it acts as a valuation tool (if included as a service) that can help in applying for a loan or mortgage to facilitate the transaction. It also provides the necessary detail to help the client or investor negotiate lease terms that are consistent with their long-term financial plans. If the building is to be used in connection with the payee’s business, the report serves as a critical piece of planning information regarding any near-term refurbishment of the building that may be necessary to achieve the payee’s business goals.
The primary expert disciplines are as follows:
- Residential property surveyor: examines the condition of homes and can give their market worth.
- Commercial property surveyor: inspecting the worth and soundness of shops, factories, etc.
- Party wall surveyor: settles disputes between next-door neighbours.
