One of the primary concerns for property buyers is the structural integrity of the building they are considering. At iSurv, we often receive inquiries about whether a pre-purchase survey encompasses checks for structural defects. Let’s delve into this crucial aspect of property assessment.
What Does a Pre-Purchase Survey Entail?
Indeed, a pre-purchase survey, commonly referred to as a “Structural Survey,” includes a comprehensive examination for potential structural defects. Our chartered surveyors, led by our expert team member Niall, meticulously scrutinize the property for any signs of structural issues. These findings are documented in detail within the survey report, complete with condition ratings and recommendations for further action.
Understanding Structural Defects:
Structural defects encompass a wide range of issues that may compromise the integrity of the building’s structural framework. These could manifest as problems with the foundation, such as heave or subsidence, various types of cracking in walls, roof issues, chimney stack problems, and more. Identifying these defects is paramount to making informed decisions before committing to a property purchase.
Navigating Limitations:
It’s essential to recognize the limitations of a pre-purchase structural survey. As a visual inspection, it may not detect issues that have yet to manifest or are concealed within the structure. Despite these limitations, our team leverages their expertise and experience to provide comprehensive insights into the property’s structural condition.
