Buying a property is likely to be the biggest and most stressful purchase that you will ever make. Thorough building surveys are essential for helping to understand what you are buying. While a property can be a lucrative asset and investment, it can also be a serious liability. The overall picture should be clear before making a commitment.
There are numerous stages to a building project between inception of the scheme and delivering the finished article. There are often many challenges to procuring a building project. Even the smallest jobs have their difficulties, design challenges and regulatory hurdles to overcome. For these reasons, employing a professional team to assist you is the best way to ensure that the usual risks associated with a building project are minimised.
A proactive approach to maintenance is the best way to protect your building against this relentless deterioration. A maintenance plan will save you a lot of frustration in dealing with the failures that arise when maintenance is ignored. It begs the question then why so many building owners and occupiers fail to implement even the most basic maintenance plan.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to most building work on a party wall, on or near to a boundary line or near to neighbouring property. If you're a building owner intending to carry out such work, you must consider whether the Party Wall Act applies. From time to time we come across owners who are completely unaware of the Party Wall Act.

A massive big thank you to Chris for all his help, knowledge, expertise and support. Chris delivered a first class service and an excellent damp report, which was very detailed and backed up by photographic evidence. Chris invested time in talking his findings through with me and nothing was too much trouble. Chris really goes the extra mile for his customers and I can’t sing his praises enough. If you are looking for the best, then Chris is the man to go to. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris to family, friends and acquaintances. Now I’ve been spoilt, I wouldn’t want use anyone else
