If you have already found a property which you are considering purchasing, you might like to take advantage of our pre-purchase inspection service.  We can provide you with detailed practical information about the property, helping you to identify the pros and cons.

Whilst we would always recommend employing the services of a surveyor to highlight existing and potential problems with the fabric of a property, our pre-purchase inspection can be a useful pre-cursor to a survey.  We can identify a wider range of factors which may be important considerations in your decision, such as:

• Information about other properties which have recently sold in the area.

• Proximity of the property to services such as health/medical centres, hospitals, schools and sports facilities as well as shops and local amenities.

• The potential for extending or altering a property and the planning implications involved, including details of any listing which may apply.

• Details of planning applications in the local area which may affect the property.

• Useful information on imminent local authority projects such as road widening schemes and provision of services.

• Details of local transport provision.

• Potential revenue streams which may be generated from the property such as from letting, where we can provide details of expected rental income and other management issues.  We can also source and negotiate with local letting agents to ensure that your investment is properly managed.  For farms and larger estates we can also advise on potential sporting lets.

These and many other factors will be covered in a concise report which includes photographs and plans where necessary.
