WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING BUILDING SERVICES
Party Wall Awards
Compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 involves the serving and acknowledgement of Party Wall Notices. The firm is able to act on behalf of both building owners (generally those that are having works carried out to their benefit) as well as adjoining owners (those who may be affected by such works). Condition surveys will be undertaken when necessary.
Schedule of Condition
The Schedule of Conditions record, factually, the condition of a property at a particular date. They can be prepared for either Residential or Commercial properties. They usually contain both a written statement of the Condition of the building and a photograph to contextualise this
Schedule of Dilapidations
A Schedule of Dilapidations is the document prepared by a surveyor on behalf of the landlord listing outstanding reinstatement, repair, legal compliance and decoration items to the property, suggesting remedial works and, in some cases, estimating the cost of the remedial works.
Property Consultant Certificates (PCC)
For small developers and builders of new build properties and conversions a Property Consultant Certificate can be issued as an alternative to a 10 year NHBC certificate. The certificate can be passed on to numerous subsequent purchasers of the property for up to six years.
Specific building defect analysis
A property defect analysis report focuses on a specific issue within the property. It aims to diagnose the defect and make you aware of possible remedial works that can be undertaken.
Insurance reinstatement valuations
A reinstatement cost is the cost of rebuilding a property of the type and style inspected to its existing standard, using modern materials and techniques, and by acting in line with current Building Regulations and other legal requirements. This includes the cost of rebuilding any garage, boundary or retaining walls and permanent outbuildings, and clearing the site. It also includes professional fees, but does not include VAT (except on fees).
Commercial Building Survey
We also undertake Building Surveys on commercial properties such as public houses, hotels, offices, shops and restaurants using our own bespoke format of survey to suit your requirements.
