Specific Defect/Structural Surveys
Specific Defect/Structural Surveys
Where a full building survey is not required a report covering a specific building defect such as defective roof covering, dampness, timber defects and structural movement can be produced.
Such a report is often required due to a defect being raised within a Mortgage Valuation Report where concern has been raised regarding a specific defect.
A Specific Defect Survey, or Specific Structural Survey, is an inspection of a building’s particular structural problems or concerns, and any related building matters which are found during the inspection.
The Specific Defect / Specific Structural Report includes details of what is found during the building inspection. It states whether or not there is a problem with the structure of the building, and if there is, what needs to be done to rectify the problems found. Where repairs or remedial works are required, or if further investigations are recommended, the Structural Defect Report can provide the budget costs for these when requested.
