Building acquisition surveys are a crucial step in the property buying process. Brennan Associates offers a full range of surveys for commercial and residential property buyers across Hertfordshire and Essex. This includes the suite of three RICS-approved surveys designed to give homeowners clarity and value when they need an expert opinion on the condition of a prospective purchase.
Of the three surveys licensed by the RICS, the Building Survey is the most thorough and in-depth. It takes the form of a full structural inspection of the property accompanied by a detailed report into the findings. If you are looking to buy an older property, a listed residence or one in an obvious state of disrepair, the RICS Building Survey is strongly recommended.
The purpose of the RICS Building Survey is to provide a complete picture of current repair and major maintenance liabilities you will take on when buying a property. It aims to cover as much of the building as is physically accessible both inside and out, recording details of construction as well as major and minor defects. From this evaluation, the surveyor will also outline the potential risk of defects that may be hidden from sight, or those that may occur in the future.

The Building Survey report includes recommendations for action to be taken to resolve any identified issues. By agreement, this can include providing budget figures for remedial work, which gives the buyer a firm ground for opening negotiations with the seller. Despite the technical nature of the survey, the accompanying report is set out so it includes a clear, easy-to-follow rating system for the condition of each part of the property, paired with a detailed narrative explanation.
In short, an RICS Building Survey tells the buyer what hidden costs might be involved in purchasing a property that requires work, so they can make an informed decision about the acquisition of the building.
Any surveyor who carries out an RICS Building Survey must be appropriately designated by RICS, carry adequate insurance and have systems in place which comply with regulation. Brennan Associates’ is a practice regulated by RICS so you can be sure you are getting accredited expertise and professionalism for your survey.
