RESIDENTIAL SERVICES Byrom & Thomas Chartered Surveyors offer a range of services for the residential buyer including Valuation - for purchase, probate, matrimonial and insurance. Homebuyer
Service - This Homebuyer Survey and Valuation, designed specifically
as an economy service is
in a standard format. It differs materially from a Building Survey in
two major respects. It is intended only for particular types of home i.e.
houses, flats and bungalows which are conventional in type and construction
and apparently in reasonable condition. It
focuses essentially on defects and problems which are urgent or significant
and thus have an effect on the value of the property, although it also
includes much other valuable information. The Homebuyer Service, unlike a Building Survey, provides not only a survey but also a valuation as an integral part of the Service. Building Survey - (formerly called a Structural Survey) is suitable for all residential properties and provides a full picture of their construction and condition. It is likely to be needed if their property is, for example, of unusual construction, is dilapidated or has been extensively altered, or where a major conversion or renovation is planned. It is usually tailored to the client's individual requirements. The report includes extensive technical information on construction and materials as well as details of the whole range of defects, major to minor.
