This is a fairly lengthy and detailed report that is tailored to your particular requirements. It provides comprehensive details of the property's construction, materials, uses, and defects. It includes a detailed assessment of the condition of the property and provides technical advice on problems and on remedial works.

A valuation report is a brief report that involves an inspection but not a survey of the property. It is based on a limited inspection and it is advisable not to rely on it solely in making a decision on whether or not to purchase a property. It will not involve reporting on disrepair items unless they are essential enough to affect value or saleability.
A leasehold property is a diminishing asset and as its term reduces so does the value of the flat. The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended) gives qualifying leaseholders the right to extend their lease by 90 years at a peppercorn rent.
To qualify you need to have owned the property continuously for the past two years, the lease must have been granted for a term of more than 21 years, and the flat must be a qualifying flat.It is not compulsory to have occupied the property during the previous two years and it is possible for the initial notice to be assigned with the lease when the flat is sold.

The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, Part II (as amended) provides security of tenure to tenants of business premises and a right of compensation at the end of the tenancy.
The Act enables the tenancy to automatically continue upon the expiry of the term, requires a landlord who desires possession of the premises to establish one or more grounds stipulated in section 30 to the satisfaction of the Court, and it also provides the tenant with the right to apply for a new tenancy.We have considerable expertise of dealing with lease renewal cases.

Overpriced, low quality but fast!
We got a level 3 building survey from Dunsin Surveyors. We went with them because they were the company with earliest availability - this was a mistake. Key faults with the house were missed (cracks down the side of the house and underpinning) that were picked up by the bank's valuation.
Since then we have found another house and got another survey done by a different company and there is a world of difference between the two; Dunsin's survey having noticeably less detail whilst being more expensive.
Don't make the same mistake as us - get a survey done right

I cannot thank Dunsin Surveyors enough. The firm was professional from the beginning to the end, and the communication was superb throughout. Having approached Dunsin with tight timescales, they worked the clock to not only meet my requirements, but actually beat the timescales. All done in a very unassuming manner. I highly recommend using them for property valuations

We needed a full structural survey completed for our house purchase. Dunsin were extremely quick at providing us with a quote and detailed information on what to expect during and after the survey. They liaised with our Estate Agents and we were booked in within 48 hours of asking for a quote. I found calling them made no difference to the level of support provided, they were extremely helpful in explaining and answering my queries regarding the survey.
Although the survey was returned at the upper end of the 305 working days, when it did arrive we were very impressed with the thorough and detailed
