Pre-Sale Building Survey
Prepare for the sale with confidence and full transparency
A thorough survey reveals the true condition of your property before it goes on the market. You can prepare for buyers’ questions, avoid unpleasant surprises and present your property with far greater confidence.
Why have a survey done before selling?
Transparency builds trust – and trust helps the sale
What do I examine?
You get a complete picture of the property’s current technical condition
Load-bearing structures, roof, façade, building services
Damp, cracks and other problems
Comparing the documents with the actual condition
Help with energy certification, permits and statutory inspections
A simple, transparent process
The survey runs in six steps, from first contact through the on-site inspection to going through the results together. You always know where the process stands and what comes next.

If needed, preparation of the energy certificate and arranging the electrical safety inspection

Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask about pre-sale surveys
Before the property is listed. That way any technical faults, shortcomings or unresolved matters that could cause problems during the sale come to light in good time.
The survey also tells you what condition the property is genuinely in, and which repairs are worth making before the sale.
Not necessarily. Before a sale, repairing every fault is neither economical nor essential.
The survey helps distinguish the faults whose repair genuinely increases the property’s value or saleability from those where the outlay is unlikely to pay off.
The energy performance certificate can be ordered as a separate service. If the certificate is also needed for the sale, the energy assessment and the building survey can be carried out together, complementing each other.
That gives you a fuller picture of both the technical condition and the energy characteristics of the property.
As part of the survey I can help review the property’s documentation and the available data from a technical point of view.
This does not replace legal due diligence by a solicitor, but I can draw attention to discrepancies or questions – for example a difference between the mapped and the actual situation – that may require further legal or planning-authority clarification.
The title deed and map extract are the main documents, together with any design documentation and permits available for the property.
If the property has been extended, altered or added to over the years, it is particularly important to check whether the actual situation matches the available documentation.
Yes. I summarise the findings of the on-site survey and the key technical observations in writing.
The time needed depends on the size and condition of the property and the level of detail. An on-site survey of an average home typically takes 1–1.5 hours.
Additional processing time is needed after the visit to prepare the written summary.
