Residential Surveys in Birmingham

If you’re looking for a level 2 survey, level 3 survey, or other residential property services, you’ve come to the right place. We understand that homes (and surveys!) can be complex to understand, which is why we pride ourselves on producing detailed reports, without the unnecessary jargon. Not only will we help you to fully understand your building, but we’ll support you throughout every step of the process.

RICS Home Survey Level 3

For an extensive inspection of your property, choose our RICS level 3 full building survey. Unlike a RICS level 2 survey, the RICS level 3 survey will provide you with detailed remedial and repair advice, along with budget costs for issues identified and photographs throughout the report.

RICS Home Survey Level 2

A level 2 homebuyer report is ideal for those of you who own a modern property that is in reasonable condition. Our team will visually inspect your home, giving you an overview of your property’s structural condition, and highlighting any issues that should be addressed in the near future.

Snagging Surveys

If you’re purchasing a new build property, we’d recommend our snag service to ensure that your home is up to scratch, and issues are detected before you move in. We’ll check every detail, from cosmetic issues, to large (and expensive!) structural problems. Our team can help you understand if the workmanship is up to standard and compliant with regulations, whilst helping you to resolve and advise on any issues that we might find.

Party Wall Matters

We work with you from the beginning to minimise party wall risks, guide you through the design stage, and manage any disputes to help you reach the desired result and move forward with your building project. Trustworthy, early advice can help you to avoid time, money, and most importantly, upset neighbours!

Architectural Services

Whether you’re adding an extension, doing a complete renovation, or building something new, our knowledgeable team will work with you to create your ideal space whilst protecting and respecting the history of your property. Every project and every client is different, so we’ll design a space to suit you, whilst working to your needs, budgets and goals.

Whether you’re a business owner, property developer, asset manager, building occupier, or anything in between, our commercial property surveys can be tailored to your exact business needs. Our property solutions will be entirely based on your requirements and priorities, ensuring you’re only paying for the services you truly need, and cutting out the services you don’t.

Pre-Lease Surveys

We provide thorough advice, putting issues, risks and costs into context so you can protect yourselves from unexpected maintenance costs, whilst proving you a base for negotiating better terms. Our pre-lease surveys also include a comprehensive review of your dilapidations liabilities and responsibilities, whilst also addressing any questions you might have at the beginning or during your tenancy. We offer clarity, peace of mind, and expert guidance where you need it the most.

Pre-Acquisition Surveys

Like our pre-lease surveys, we can help you understand issues, risks, and costs associated with your upcoming property purchase or investment. Our team will help you make informed decisions so you can get peace of mind that you are spending your money on a property with great condition and structure. This service will help you identify any defects, issues, or any future renovations that might not be visible upon first glance.

Schedule of Condition Reports

We provide a thorough review of your property’s condition, with annotated photographic schedules of condition to give the highest level of detail to you, protecting your interests and assets in the future. Our team can give you peace of mind that the lease is appropriately benchmarked against the condition of the property, protecting your assets against future dilapidations or damages claims.

Dilapidations

Years of experience means we are able to advise on both your and your tenant’s liabilities under a commercial lease. We provide advice on timescales, risks and costs, ensuring you’re equipped with thorough knowledge about your property. Our team can help to provide a thorough evaluation of the property’s condition, allowing us to determine the full extent of the breaches at hand. The fair and honest service that we provide will offer a solution that is beneficial to all parties involved.

Planned Maintenance Reporting

We’ll help you plan and prioritise tasks, costs and appraisals, to ensure you’re prepared at every stage. With our help you can get a clear idea of future building costs and plans, giving you a better understanding of what’s to come and what you might need to prepare for. Our team understands that each project is different to the next, which is why we offer a flexible planned maintenance service, tailored to your specific needs.

Building Reinstatement Cost Assessments

We have experience working on buildings, projects and spaces of all sizes and values so we can make sure you’re insured at the right level. Whether you’re buying a commercial or residential building, our building reinstatement cost assessments, or building insurance valuations, give you peace of mind that your assets are covered in the worst-case scenario. You should have RCAs carried out every three years, or after major renovations on your property.

Portfolio Reviews
