Our professional services start with RESIDENTIAL SURVEYING AND INSPECTION.
We fully inspect the whole property, inside and out, looking for any defects or issues that might prove to be a problem or even worse, a potential hazard. Operating to the norms and protocols of the United Kingdom’s ROYAL INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS (RICS), our certified inspectors ensure that no stone is left unturned to provide you with a detailed report concerning your properties condition.
A typical inspection takes around TWO TO THREE HOURS, during which time we check the buildings construction, fixtures and fittings, electrical integrity, gas / fuel installations, Water and plumbing, heaters / boilers and carry out a test of the water quality.
