Property Overview
Type: Semi-detached two-storey property
Location: Co. Tyrone

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 methodical on-site inspection over a 3.5 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 an assessment on the condition of the main building elements, photographs and diagrams.
Key issues for consideration included:
Frost attack to chimney brickwork resulting in significant spalling
Mortar pointing to brickwork substantially weathered
Horizontal cracking noted to external render
Partially blocked sub-floor ventilation
Soil & vent pipe leaking and below ground drainage completely blocked
Poor provision of ventilation within the roof space
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.
