Residential Structural Survey

Buying or renovating a home? Our Residential Structural Surveys provide bespoke inspections which are reviewed by Chartered Structural Engineers (MIStructE or MICE). Whether you're a homeowner, buyer, or landlord, our detailed reports give you peace of mind and help satisfy mortgage lender requirements.

We specialise in assessing residential properties of all ages and types—identifying structural concerns, recommending remedial action, and ensuring you’re fully informed before making major decisions.

What’s Included in a Residential Structural Survey?

  • Tailored structural inspection of the property

  • Assessment of visible cracks, movement, alterations, and subsidence

  • Detailed written report reviewed and signed by a Chartered Engineer

  • Suitable for mortgage approvals, insurance queries, and pre-purchase due diligence

  • Advice on structural repairs, building regulations, and next steps

 

Our surveys help identify hidden issues that standard homebuyer reports often miss, so you can avoid unexpected repair costs and negotiate with confidence.
