A building survey involves a detailed examination of all accessible parts of the property and can be tailor made to suit your individual needs and concerns. The cost of the building survey is upwards of 400 as it depends on the detail of inspection required by the client. For further information please see the Buldings Surveys section of our Guide To Choosing A Report.
A property valuation is an inspection of a property carried out on behalf of the mortgage lender. A valuation is not a survey. It's a limited inspection to identify problems that affect the security of your mortgage lender's loan. You should not just rely on the information provided by a valuation when deciding whether or not to purchase a property.

We provide Land Registry compliant plans for land owners and solicitors, where a plan is required for first registration, transfer, or long leases. A lease plan is a scale drawing of land and buildings described in your lease, depicts areas which are shared in common with others, marks any rights of way that are granted, and shows boundaries/buildings marked and detailed with accurate measurements.
Many buildings old or new have some defects, and require repairs and replacements from time to time, to keep them in satisfactory condition. This style of report is a valuation and not a survey. It is a property inspection undertaken to provide an opinion on the current open market value of the property and is an equivalent to a report provided for financial institutions including building societies and banks for loan security purposes.
