Importance of a Surveyor
Whether you are inspecting a newly purchased listed building in Ash or if you are looking to buy one, surveying allows you to know about any specific maintenance work that may be required. As a buyer, you can find out if consent was given for any previous alteration work conducted. If any such work is found, then this can be used to negotiate a better price. Additionally, you can find out whether future work can be conducted as our team will explain which works can be conducted and which ones may face restriction. This can help to make the buying decision easier. We fully assess the current condition of the listed building and advise you on whether it would be a worthy investment.

We will outline all of the options available to you, and also provide an accurate cost analysis. This can be vital in assessing whether a listed building is a worthy investment.
