WHAT DOES A BUILDING SURVEYOR ACTUALLY CHECK? 🏠
Many buyers assume a building surveyor is simply doing the same thing as a standard property inspection. The role can be much broader.
A building surveyor may assess:
• Building structure: Signs of movement, cracking and structural concerns
• Building condition: Defects, deterioration and areas requiring attention
• Compliance: Relevant building requirements, approvals and documentation where applicable
• Alterations & extensions: Potential building or compliance issues associated with modifications
• Overall condition: Issues that may need further investigation or professional advice
Understanding the difference can help buyers ask the right questions before committing to a property.
Buying a property? Make sure you understand what you're actually having checked.
