Listed and Period Building Surveys

Our comprehensive building surveys provide a clear understanding of the condition of the property, enabling you to proceed with confidence and make informed decisions.

Our surveys carefully assess the overall condition of the building, distinguishing between characteristics typical for the age and nature of the property and defects requiring attention. Recommended repairs are categorised by urgency and whether works may be deferred to the longer term.

Where a building is listed, we provide clear guidance on the implications of listing, including restrictions on alteration and potential liabilities arising from historic unauthorised works.

Advice is pragmatic and straightforward, without unnecessary alarm. Reports are detailed yet accessible, combining technical depth with clear explanation.

Environmental and legal searches are ordinarily arranged through your solicitor and we highlight any site-related environmental issues apparent during inspection that may warrant further investigation.

We liaise directly with your legal adviser where appropriate, providing a joined-up approach between the professionals representing you and helping to streamline the transaction.
