Home Buyers Survey in Trowbridge

HomeBuyer Report

Should I get a HomeBuyer Report, Full Structural Survey or Building Survey on a property in Trowbridge and which would be cheaper?

The Full Structural Survey has changed its name to a Building Survey, although it is basically the same the same survey.

If the Trowbridge property is a flat or maisonette, or is a period property, or has been substantially modified, or is of non standard construction, you should go for a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.

If you are thinking about whether to do any an extension on the property, RICS advise you go for a Building Survey. This survey is not as cheap however it will give exhaustive analysis of the Trowbridge property's state of repair and it includes information on defects , repairs and maintenance options .

Roof defects identified during a survey

We are buying a loft-conversion in Trowbridge. Will access to the house's roof be problematic?

Questions like this are often asked of property surveyors by house purchasers who are aware that property can often hide problems like incorrectly applied waterproofing. From ceiling joists to dormer windows, many parts of the roof and loft should be investigated, and any defects addressed as soon as possible.

Given the high cost of major roof repairs like repairing a bowing truss, some homeowners may defer maintenance indefinitely. This makes both the cause and the consequences harder and even more expensive to treat when repairs do take place. Prior to exchange, it may be worth sourcing from a roofing specialist a quote for any suggested work.

External brick wall issue identified during property survey

I've put in an offer in Trowbridge. What input does a surveyor in Trowbridge give?

Trowbridge brick-walled structures can be affected by considerable issues. This could be anything from vertical cracking to efflorescence. One defect surveyors of brick property frequently address is wall tie failure. This occurs when ties supporting old cavity walls rust, leading to horizontal cracks and separation of the internal and eternal leaves of the wall. Farbrother Tony & Sons at 10 Lindsey Way, Stowmarket, IP14 2PD should give an estimate for any work. Call them on 01449 677366.

For buyers interested in less common uses of brick, consider adding other characterful elements of masonry, such as flushwork. The consequences of amateur repairs can either worsen the problem, or create entirely new defects in a brick wall. Professional advice can reduce the risk of this.
