Residential Surveys and Valuations

All our reports are designed to provide you with clear and easy to understand information whether you are buying or selling a house. The inspection and report will be carried out by a fully qualified RICS surveyor with over 20 years' experience.

So which survey should you choose?

At Richard P. Taylor we offer three types of report:-

Valuation Report

This is a concise report designed to give an outline of the general condition and an assessment of value.

Report on Condition and Valuation

This is much more detailed than the valuation survey (but less detailed than a full Building Survey) and is appropriate for most types and ages of dwellings.

The report is designed to provide the following information:-

  • A general description of the property and its accommodation
  • Commentary on the condition of the building, dealing with the various elements of the building eg roof, main walls, timber, damp, etc
  • A list of defects considered to be either urgent or significant, which may affect value or your willingness to purchase the property
  • A valuation of the property

Building Survey

A building survey gives a detailed picture of the construction of a property and, perhaps more importantly, its condition.

A building survey is the most comprehensive report available and is particularly suited to older premises, perhaps where the property is of unusual construction, has been extensively altered or is in a dilapidated condition.

The building survey will identify any visible defects or shortcomings and will provide a comprehensive list of repairs required with an emphasis on appropriate further action and potential timescales involved.

Whichever survey you choose...

Richard P. Taylor are committed to providing a fast and efficient service and the surveyor will be available to discuss the contents of the report at any time.
