I’ve had a fantastic experience with James at ECE. He conducted a building survey for me which was very thorough and professional. Special thanks for his helpfulness to my many follow up questions. I will be sure to use ECE in the future.
We can provide you with the survey that meets your needs whether you are an existing home owner, looking to buy a new property or leasing your property. Before committing to buying a new property it is advisable to obtain a building survey to ascertain the condition of the property. Our structural surveys will give you the peace of mind to know what you are buying before making that financial leap.
Building reports costs can range from £550 to £1250 due to a number of factors. The cost will depend on the value of the property, the size of the property, the type of property and the location of the property. It also depends on the type of the survey required for example a building conditions report, structural report etc.
Everyone’s needs are different which is why at English Consulting Engineers Ltd we choose the most suitable and affordable report to match your particular needs.
Dilapidation surveys are also useful where you might want to record the condition of your property before and after major works take place next to your property and have the potential to cause damage to your property.
A building report is carried out to assess the condition of a property and determine the level of defects that may exist in a property. In our reports these defects are given a rating of 1 to 3 where 1 means no action is required and 3 means immediate action is required to rectify the defect before further deterioration occurs. It looks at all aspects of the building from the external to the internal make up and consider the local surroundings.
The aim is the give the building a thorough examination from top to bottom to determine if there are defects and if so, to understand the nature and cause of them.
It is important to carry out a condition report so that as a customer you have a better understanding of what you are buying and are aware of any hidden costs from defects.For most people buying a property is one of the biggest investments you will make so it is important to know what you are buying. This is particularly true of older properties which do not come with building warranties. The detailed report you get from English Consulting Engineers Ltd gives you the peace of mind to make a fully informed decision.
Freeholders will often request a structural report from leaseholders who wish to make structural alterations to their property. This gives them the assurance that alteration are structurally sound and wil not impact the structural integrity of the building. English Consulting Engineers can provide these reports to greenlight your project.
