More about Residential services
We offer a full range of house surveys, designed to describe the condition of a property. These include the full Building Survey, a broader, bespoke Building Appraisal service, and the more basic RICS-compliant Homebuyers Report.
We have a particular specialism and experience in historic property.
Successful communication is our priority – our aim is to translate our experience and findings into accessible, practical and meaningful advice.
To help you choose the most appropriate survey, see the list below or please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Building Surveys
The Building Survey offers the greatest depth of information and seeks to not only identify defects but to discuss their likely causes, suggested repairs, related risks and associated costs, so that priorities for any action can be understood at an early stage.
The Survey report concludes with a prioritised summary presenting defects and also gives advice as to forecasting future repair needs, risks associated with the property and actions or enquiries to be made prior to purchase.
Valuations
Chantry & Co is a RICS Registered Valuer. We have long and up-to-date experience in the valuation of residential property for various purposes.
We can provide Market Valuations for purchase, marital, probate, and other specialist purposes.
We also provide valuations of flats, maisonettes and blocks for lease extension and enfranchisement purposes.
Rebuilding Cost Assessment (Insurance Valuations)
As an RICS Registered Valuer, we offer Rebuilding Cost Assessment valuations for the purposes of insurance policies, compliant with relevant RICS guidance, for most conventional building types.
