Building Surveys in the
Reading area
Buying a property is probably the biggest financial decision you are likely to make. A professional survey carried out by a Chartered Building Surveyor, will help you reach an informed decision about the overall condition of a property.
It is important to recognise that a Mortgage Valuation Report is usually prepared on behalf of the lender and as such, serves to establish the value and type of the property.
Oakleaf Building Surveyors Ltd can provide a pre-acquisition building survey for residential and commercial premises. This form of survey is suitable for all types of property and provides a much more detailed assessment of both construction and condition.
A building survey report will include extensive technical information relating to a property and will consider those defects and problems which are likely to affect the both market value and the future maintenance of the property. Please note, a building survey report would not normally include a valuation, unless agreed otherwise.
Our company is based in Reading and works across a wide area. If you would like to arrange a building survey, please get in touch.
