What is a Specific Defect Home Survey?

​

This type of home survey is best for you if you are a current homeowner and you have noticed a particular structural issue with your property, or you suspect that there might be one. For your peace of mind and a professional opinion I can carry out a Specific Defect Home Survey.

​

A Specific Defect Home Survey can be commissioned to address issues such as:

• Structural movement

• Decay of external elements of fabric

• Dampness and condensation

• Timber decay and rot

• Roofing defects

​​

A Specific Defect Survey can be useful if you need details about an explicit problem but do not need or want to commission a detailed Home Survey of the whole property. For example, you might be particularly worried that your home has a problem with damp or you have noticed cracking in the walls. You need honest, independent expert advice. I will carry out a non-intrusive inspection to diagnose the problem and guide you in the right direction for further advice from a specialist if required. 

​

Or, if you are selling a property and your buyer’s survey or the mortgage valuation has highlighted an issue, a Specific Defect Home Survey could provide a useful second opinion. Either way, it could allay any concerns, give you peace of mind, or help in any renegotiation.

​

Whatever the circumstances, my report will vary depending on the property. Please Contact me for a free, no obligation quote.

The cost of the Specific Defect Home Survey will vary depending on the number and complexity of the issues involved.
