Building Survey

A Building Survey (formerly known as a Structural Survey) is a detailed inspection of a building which aims to give our Client the best possible information on a property, in a clear report.

Unlike the RICS Homebuyer Survey (which gives a limited overview in a fixed report format) we are free to create a report which highlights important aspects, strictly relevant to our Client’s interest in the property concerned.

Our professional advice and assistance helps protect the Client from unexpected cost, so far as may be reasonably possible, without causing damage to the building during the inspection. Subject to prior arrangement, Tombleson Associates welcome meetings with Client’s on site at the end of survey, if required.

Building Surveys are strongly recommended, by us, before any commitment to the purchase (or lease) of all or any buildings, land or property is considered or entered into. We particularly recommend a Building Survey in the case of older or more complex structures, including Historic or Listed Buildings.

This type of survey, may save our Clients many thousands of pounds from subsequent problems and issues.

Our own version for the RICS Level 3 Building Survey is an in-depth and detailed inspection of a property, ideal as a pre-purchase report.

RICS Homebuyer Survey & Valuation

The RICS Homebuyer Survey (with or without valuation) is a Level 2 report for residential acquisition. Providing a good overall appraisal of condition, the Homebuyer survey report has been developed over the past 20 years by the RICS. This type of report is commonly chosen for standard modern buildings in which ground conditions and structural anomalies are unlikely to be an issue. The Homebuyer Survey is not unusual recommended for older buildings, say pre-1900 approximately. Additionally, it is not ideally suited to buildings which are complex or not of standard construction.

With each building elements broken down into separate sections, a condition rating is provided for each. When a good overview of the condition is required, this can the most economical report.
