  • Survey question.

    Chap I work with who is an engineer and used to work in residential sector is saying that I would be better off getting specialists in than doing a full structural. Reason being that the full structural is limited and often the report is wishy washy and full of recommendations to get specialists in to investigate anyway.

    So I' debating getting

    1. Drainage survey with cctv done.
    2. Timber and damp survey. This should indirectly find any issues with the roof and chimney.

    And then structurally I can check for subsidence by just doing a walk around looking for cracks myself.

    Between those 3, I think I'm covering all the important stuff, and I'm going to get a more thorough survey than an all in one jobbie.

    Am I mad?

  • I went basic/free bank valuation and a proper full fat specialist structural survey on mine, was £1100 inc VAT.
