It's one of the biggest financial commitments you'll ever make. So it's no surprise that moving house is one of the most stressful things you'll ever have to do! At Anderson Associates it's our business to cut your stress to the minimum. With us, you won't need to worry about the property you're buying - because you'll have a detailed report from an experienced building surveyor which tells you what's wrong with it!
When a bank, a building society or any other lender is looking to offer you a mortgage, they will usually want a Mortgage Valuation. Ensure it's a suitable security for the loan, and get an Open Market Valuation (OMV) - a property valuation which gives a realistic idea of what the property is worth in today's market.
The Home Buyer Survey and Valuation is a private report supplied to you as a prospective buyer. It's a pro-forma document about 10-15 pages long designed by the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). This type of property survey is only meant to tell you about any significant or major progressive defects - and to show how these defects might affect the house valuation.
A Full Building Survey is 20-25 page long and gives you a comprehensive report on any property - including flats and leasehold premises. A maintenance plan so you can look after or improve the condition of the property and make it easier to sell in the future. A cost summary listing all the defects, describing what must be done to put them right, and giving a general estimate of how much the necessary repairs will cost.
With leasehold and shared freehold flats or maisonettes you will often have some responsibility for maintaining and repairing parts of the building other than the flat itself. It is therefore essential that you carry out an appropriately thorough property survey so you are fully aware of any likely maintenance or repairs that may be required during your lease.

Absolutely amazing service! We were very lucky to get a cancellation slot so had an appointment quickly which was a relief as I can understand why they are in such high demand. Friendly, more than efficient and informative service which great professionalism throughout.
The survey we had done on the house was thorough and the report was well structured and easy to understand.
Communication was great and Paul offered to go through anything on the report that I may need greater understanding of.

I was really impressed with the depth and detail with which AA assessed the property I was intending to buy. They highlighted issues I’d never have even considered and gave fair cost estimates for the work they deemed necessary. The report produced was rigorous but highly accessible for a novice like me, and when dealing with them on the phone they were friendly and helpful from the outset. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Anderson associates was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so pleased we used them for our building survey. The report was thorough and easy to understand, the best bit is that it is costed up (estimations) for you so that you can make a informed choice about whether you can afford the repairs if needed.
Swift, professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommended

We used Paul Anderson for a full building survey recently for a house we went on to purchase. The survey was very well detailed and fair in its notes.
We used the survey to negotiate, and will continue to use the survey for years to come in house repairs.
We did not meet Paul, but he undertook and survey and the previous owners of our house mentioned how professional Paul was.
Thanks again!
