Roof surveys are essential for evaluating the condition of various roofing types, from classic pitched roofs to contemporary flat roofs. Using advanced techniques such as drone surveys and specialist pole cams, our services offer property owners a comprehensive assessment of their roof’s condition. These surveys are not only vital for ensuring peace of mind but may also be necessary for insurance purposes, planned works, and for leaseholders and tenants of rented properties.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) offers three types of property surveys to cater to different needs. The ‘RICS Condition Report’ provides a basic overview of the property’s condition, highlighting urgent issues without extensive detail, ideal for newer homes. The ‘RICS HomeBuyer Report’ offers a more comprehensive analysis, including defects that might affect the property’s value, suitable for standard properties in reasonable condition. Lastly, the ‘RICS Building Survey’ is the most detailed, providing an in-depth evaluation of the property’s structure and condition, recommended for older or significantly altered buildings. Each survey type helps buyers make informed decisions based on their specific requirements.
The Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA) offers three distinct types of surveys tailored to varying needs. The RPSA Condition Survey provides a straightforward overview of a property’s condition, identifying key issues and is suitable for modern homes. The RPSA Home Condition Survey offers a more detailed evaluation, including an inspection of the property’s structure and services, and is ideal for older homes or those with apparent issues. The RPSA Building Survey delivers the most comprehensive analysis, offering an exhaustive assessment of the property’s condition and structure, and is recommended for large, old, or significantly modified properties. Each survey type helps homeowners and buyers make well-informed decisions.
