Property Overview
Type: Semi-detached two-storey property
Location: Co. Antrim
Age: Built early 1990’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 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:
Poor provision of ventilation within roof space resulting in high humidity readings
Bathroom fan extracting directly into roof space exacerbating the above issue
Evidence of vermin activity noted
Loft insulation incomplete and well below current standards
Elevated moisture meter readings to isolated locations on the ground floor
Potential right of way issue noted
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.
