A recent home-buyer survey on Beechwood Road, Saltney identified concealed roof moisture and heat-loss issues. A follow-up drone and thermal inspection clarified the extent and source, allowing the report to give a clear, jargon-free recommendation: targeted roof repairs and insulation upgrades. The findings preserved negotiation leverage for the buyer and avoided an estimated remedial bill for adjacent owners. For buyers, solicitors and homeowners in Chester and Cheshire, this demonstrates the practical value of specialist surveying. Find out more: https://wix.to/JikrEPO

RI Building Surveying provides RICS‑standard reports for Cheshire and North Wales, including targeted damp surveys for homeowners, buyers and commercial clients. Typical remediation costs vary by issue: simple condensation solutions from a few hundred pounds, penetrating damp repairs often in the low thousands, and rising damp remediation plus plaster replacement potentially several thousand.

I am sharing recent findings from the Open Property Data Association: 58% of UK property sales collapse after an offer is accepted, with an average cost of about £2,830 per failed sale and an estimated national cost of £2 billion annually. These failures produce both financial loss and significant emotional strain, particularly for older buyers and sellers.

At RI Building Surveying we emphasise early, clear communication and practical steps to reduce risk: obtain mortgage approval in principle, request pre-sale surveys, be transparent about circumstances, and maintain regular contact with solicitors and agents. Our surveys combine drone and thermal inspection where appropriate, and we deliver RICS-standard reports written in plain language so clients can see urgent issues and estimated costs clearly.

If you are buying or selling in Cheshire, Chester, Northwich or nearby North Wales, consider a pre-sale or homebuyer survey to reduce the chance of a sale collapsing. We aim to help clients make informed decisions with minimal stress. Discuss your case with us: read the full article and practical checklist via the link below. 🔍🏠
