Professional Building Surveyor
Southdown Surveyors specialise in RICS Level 3 Home Surveys and Building Surveys in Hastings, Bexhill on Sea, St Leonards on Sea and the South East, for residential and commercial properties. A survey is ideal for traditional homes, flats and bungalows that are in reasonable condition. It provides you with a standard report which outline the most relevant issues affecting a property, an opinion on the value and a reinstatement cost which is suitable for insurance purposes. Whilst more costly than other RICS reports, it provides far more details about the structure and fabric of the property. If you are dealing with a property that is sizeable, old, run-down, unusual, altered, or if you are planning major work, a Building Survey may be more suitable. A Building Survey is a more customised service which provides a detailed overview of a property. This survey doesn't include a reinstatement cost assessment or market valuation but this can be included if required, as well as a range of other services.
