What is a Pre-Purchase Apartment Survey?
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. It is important to know the true condition of the property before you buy. An apartment survey is like a physical check-up.
Our Engineers will carry out a visual examination of the physical structure and systems of an individual apartment, duplex or maisonette unit. Our survey includes the interior ceilings, floors, walls, balconies and windows. Our report will provide an overview of the common areas of the apartment, duplex or maisonette block e.g. roofs, underground parking spaces, fire precautions and means of escape. A cursory view of the heating, plumbing and electrical systems is included.
Our survey will help you make an informed decision before signing the dotted line.
