When a specific element is in question, a sagging floor, a bowing wall, an alteration of unknown provenance, a targeted structural inspection answers it without the cost of a full survey.
- Inspection of the specific element or defect
- Assessment of cause and severity
- Written report with photographs
- Repair or strengthening recommendations
Is this the same as a full structural survey? +
No; it is targeted at a defined element or concern, which makes it faster and proportionate. Where a wider survey is warranted, we say so.
Can you inspect before I buy a property? +
Yes, subject to the seller's access. Pre-purchase inspections of specific concerns are common and often decisive.
