  • Yeah, absolutely.

    There must be someone selling some useful service in this area that doesn't just consist of some impenetrable 60 page report of maybes and caveats

  • A full building survey by a chartered surveyor should cover that. Obviously there will be always be some caveats as you can't undertake intrusive work. A homebuyers report is an exercise in arse covering tailored to suit the form of construction/property period. (I'm a chartered BS)

  • A full building survey by a chartered surveyor should cover that.

    I'm not sure - they seem to believe that buyers of such surveys place value by the number of words in the report, which is insanity. But a wall of text is provided with the occasional photo (the gas meter! The distribution board!) to prevent the eyes from totally glazing over. And the caveats. Oh the caveats.

    If someone was to do something that was modern and useful, I'd want that, and I'm trying to think of the format that it might be in. But it's not the full survey reports I've seen.
