What Services Do Chartered Building Surveyors Provide?

If you’ve ever purchased property or land, for residential or commercial development, it is likely you’ll have heard of chartered surveyors. Whether or not you have used their services directly, there is a strong chance that they will have been involved at some point.

When it comes to matters within the world of construction, property and land, chartered surveyors are able to provide both practical services and advice that is hugely beneficial to both builders and clients alike. However, despite their usefulness, there is often a sense of ambiguity regarding the specific services provided by such professionals. Here is our guide to a few of the many services provided by chartered surveyors.

Party Wall & Construction Disputes

Here at Simon Levy Associates, we provide a number of services to our clients, including advice regarding party walls and boundaries. If you’re planning on making alterations to a shared party wall, you may have to seek legal permission to go ahead. In this situation, an experienced party wall surveyor will be needed to provide impartial advice relating to the issue.

Moreover, here at Simon Levy Associates, we can provide support and assistance in the event of a construction dispute between building contractors and clients. While there are a number of reasons that can lead to construction disputes, the important thing is to resolve them quickly with minimal disruption to the project.

Structural Surveys & Defect Diagnosis

Additionally, if you are considering investing in a new home or property, Simon Levy Associates is able to provide full structural surveys to assess the condition of the building before you purchase. This is a crucial service as although many mortgage companies or estate agents offer a survey before you make the purchase, using a chartered surveyor is the only way to guarantee a job is done thoroughly.

As well as providing full structural surveys, we also use our wealth of expertise, experience and skill to assess buildings for defects that may have serious negative effects on a property’s value or structural integrity. Our building defect diagnosis services are effective in identifying the causes of a wide range of issues, from dampness and mould to subsidence and cracking.
