Pre-Purchase Surveys: Making Sure It’s True Love
Finding your dream home is a bit like falling in love, it can feel like a whirlwind. That beautiful Georgian townhouse in Somerset or the charming cottage in Cornwall might seem perfect on the surface, but just like any relationship, it’s what’s underneath that really counts.
Our pre-purchase surveys are like giving your potential new home a relationship check-up. We take a thorough look at the property to ensure everything is structurally sound and that there are no hidden issues that could cause heartbreak or financial headaches later. From checking for damp to inspecting the roof, foundations, and everything in between, we leave no stone unturned.
After all, you wouldn’t propose on the first date, would you? We’re here to make sure you’re not rushing into a commitment without knowing exactly what you’re getting into!
Party Wall Act Advice: Keeping the Neighbours Happy
Ah, the neighbours, they’re a bit like the in-laws of homeownership. You might not see them every day, but when it comes to property boundaries, they can make things… complicated. If your Valentine’s Day plans include a little home improvement perhaps a new extension or even knocking down a wall, you’ll want to make sure everything goes smoothly with those living next door. Enter the Party Wall Act.
The Party Wall Act is designed to prevent disputes between neighbours when building work affects shared walls or boundaries. If you’re planning any work that could involve a party wall, you’ll need to follow the legal process that’s where we can help. West Country Surveyors will guide you through the process, making sure you serve the correct notices and handle any potential issues with the neighbours diplomatically and avoiding any long term issues.
Listed Building Surveys: A Love Story with History
In the West Country, we’re surrounded by beautiful listed buildings properties that are full of charm, history, and character. Falling in love with a listed building is easy, but maintaining that relationship? It takes work.
Listed buildings come with a unique set of challenges. Whether it’s restrictions on renovations or hidden structural issues, these properties require extra care and attention. Our listed building surveys are designed to give you the full picture, so you know exactly what you’re getting into before you say “I do” to a historic home. We’ll assess the condition of the property, identify any necessary repairs, and help you understand the planning restrictions that come with owning a listed building.
Like any relationship you want to go in with your eyes wide open to anything that may tarnish that love affair.
