Residential Surveys

Before buying a home, it is important to know what condition it is in. If there are defects / short life materials, you may be faced with unexpected expense to rectify them. A building / structural survey should reveal them at a stage when decisions can be made about negotiations on the price or looking elsewhere.

With respect to Flats / Apartments, there will usually be provision to charge the leaseholder a proportion of the cost of repairs and decoration etc of the common parts, external walls, roof and external areas; possibly to include other buildings on the estate. Accordingly it is wise to check these as well.

Solicitors will usually advise their clients that once they have bought a property there is 'no come back' on the vendor if inadequacies or defects are subsequently found.
