Property Surveys

Types of Survey

Surveys are a kind of 'health check' for buildings.  If you're buying a property, you should have a survey done before you enter into a contract.  A survey can actually save you money.  If there are serious structural problems, we can on your behalf often re-negotiate the sale price of the property to reflect the cost of any necessary repairs or you may even decide you don't want to buy it at all.  At Pegasus Emlak we are determined that your hard earned money should not be squandered.  We believe this sevice to be unique, and are proud to offer full pre-purchase support.

Homebuyer Survey and Valuation Report

This is an economy service designed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors for the cost conscious home buyer.  It will provide an overall opinion of the general condition of the property but does not offer additional useful features such as providing Guideline Budgets for any defects that may be identified.
However the survey will report on;

• Urgent matters that are a threat to the fabric of the building
• Significant matters which could affect the price of the property
• A market valuation of the property
• Rebuild costs for Insurance purposes

Headline Building Survey

The Headline Survey is a Building Survey that concentrates on serious structural defects and essential repairs which require attention within six months.  Our surveyors will offer clear impartial opinion on what they find.  They will explain how they reach their conclusions and provide reassurance that you are getting the best advice on the condition of the property.

There are also guideline budgets for any essential repairs identified and this may assist you in negotiating the sale, and help you plan and prioritise a maintenance and repair programme
This summary inspection reports on:

• Serious Structural Defects; defects that threaten the stability and safety of the structure
• Essential Repairs; repairs that require attention within six months
• Guideline Budgets for Serious Defects and Essential repairs
• Matters for your solicitor
• Rebuild Costs for Insurance Purposes.

Full Building Survey

The Full Building Survey is just that.  Its an extensive investigation of the property and results in a comprehensive report on the property condition presented in an easily readable, clearly presented format.  In addition to containing all the elements of a Headline Survey it also reports on other repairs that, in the surveyors opinion require attention either now or at some time in the future to put the property into, or maintain it in, good condition for its age and type.
