When you hire from our panel of Chartered Surveyors for a Full Building Survey, you get a detailed review of every accessible area of the building. A survey report is normally prepared by a qualified and/or experienced RICS chartered surveyor or other accredited industry professional.
Unlike the standard RICS HomeBuyer Reports, a Full Building Survey is very comprehensive and offers more insight into what is wrong with the property and how it should be addressed.

If your home is new, make sure your developer handles any outstanding defects with a Snagging List before you move in. In this way, the developer can make good on these without causing you inconvenience and further expense.

It’s crucial to understand the local market to perform a valuation. Your RICS valuation surveyor will review your property and take guidance from the RICS “Red Book,” which sets forth the basic standards all valuers must meet. Among the types of valuation that your surveyor may perform are the following:
- Market Valuation
- Insurance/Reinstatement Cost Assessment
- Right to Buy
- Shared Ownership Staircasing/Equity
- ATED (Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings) Valuation
- Non-Domicile Tax
- Probate and Inheritance Tax
- Capital Gains Tax
- Matrimonial/Divorce Settlement

- Rent Reviews & Lease Extension
The valuation report you receive is a technical study of the property and the local property market by your valuer specifically to Barnes. Their survey pertains to a number of technical valuation areas as described above.

Schedule of Condition
A schedule of condition reviews the condition of the property at the date a tenant moves in or before any construction takes place.

It provides a baseline to prove whether damage has occurred as a result of tenancy or nearby works (e.g. party wall).
