Building Survey - Co. Tyrone
Instruction
To undertake a Building Survey of a detached rural bungalow.
Property Overview
Type: Detached bungalow
Location: Co. Tyrone
Age: Built 1960’s
Client: Private Client
Purpose: Pre-purchase survey
Survey Process
Our survey process involves several key steps to ensure a thorough assessment:
Consultation
We began with an initial consultation call to understand the client's concerns and specific requirements for the survey. This included a discussion about the property's history and any known issues.
Inspection
We conducted a detailed on-site inspection over a 4 hour period, covering both the interior and exterior of the property including all main building components as well as a visual inspection of services installations.
Report
Our findings were documented in a comprehensive report, including detailed descriptions of each identified issue, photographs and diagrams. We provided clear, actionable recommendations for repairs and maintenance.
Key issues for consideration included:
Lack of adequate ventilation within the roof space and high relative humidity readings
High moisture meter readings to roof timbers
Evidence of wood-boring insect attack to roof timbers
Raised ground levels partially blocking sub-floor vents
Boast/deteriorated render increasing the risk of polyurethane (PU) foam cavity wall insulation becoming saturated.
Post Report Video Call
Following report issue and once the client had a chance to fully read through the report, we arranged a video call and addressed any further questions or queries the client had.
