The Survey

The Building Survey will:
·   determine the property construction;
·   assess the current condition;
·   identify any current or potential defects; and
·   highlight repairs or future maintenance requirements.

As part of the Building Survey, Lapider will inspect all accessible parts of the building and will make use of a 3 metre ladder. If we consider there are any hidden problems we will recommend further investigation. We use specialist electronic measuring equipment to check for damp and other defects.

The Report

Lapider will produce a written Building Survey Report which will report on the findings from the survey. This can be used to inform the client on whether to:
·   purchase the property;
·   negotiate the purchase price; and,
·   plan for future repairs or alterations.

We produce written reports that are clear, concise and are easily understood by the ‘lay’ person. The report will explain any technical terms and will include photographs and diagrams if required.

Single Issue Survey

There may be times when you have a particular building problem or defect for which you require specialist advice. Lapider can carry out a Single Issue Survey which will:
·   investigate the problem;
·   produce a brief report;
·   make recommendations for repair.

This can be a more cost effective approach than having a full Building Survey.

If you require a Building Survey for a potential purchase or lease or wish to discuss a building defect that you need investigated, please contact Michael Newton at Lapider.
