Specific Defect Surveys - Sometimes you may find a problem or issue you are concerned about within your home. You could ask a builder for an opinion but you may prefer to obtain an independent report from a building surveyor in which case the Specific Defect Report may well suit your requirements. Problems such as mould on walls, timber decay and damp problems are the type of issues that might present themselves.

In the process of buying an old Victorian house with a lot of work needed. I already had a good idea of the work required to bring it back to its former glory. Jeff carried out a very thorough building survey that helped to confirm my thoughts and alleviate my concerns regarding problem areas of the house. His information has also been useful in getting the RIGHT tradespeople. Some tradespeople will tell you anything, so it's peace of mind having a report from a building surveyor which specifies exactly what remedial work is required. Especially when the issues are roof related!

Jeff was a pleasure to work with, he gave us really good no-nonsense information about the house we are buying. This definitely helped us make a final decision to go ahead with the purchase. He was thorough and detailed, and got his report back to us quickly. I would certainly recommend his services.
