Detailed Explanation

It is critically important that a client not only has the right survey but also understands the results and how they may impact the purchase and the property over time. For this reason we always have a detailed conversation with each client after our report is sent. The aim of this is to make sure they are fully aware of all the issues, evidence and implications of all the details in the report. This way they can move ahead with the purchase in possession of all the facts. This level of detail is sadly not always provided by some larger practices or banks.

Local Knowledge

Special challenges in Aldeburgh include possible flooding from both the river and the sea. Special treatment may also be needed for listed properties and those in Conservation Areas, older brick walls and their maintenance, tiled roofs, rising damp, structural movement, and more. Homeowners looking to purchase property in the Aldeburgh area would do well to seek professional advice. This is so that they are fully aware of the condition and potential defects of the property before they commit to buy.
