Home Defect Surveys

RICS Independent Surveyor

Home Defect Surveys is a well established Surveying company that has built up an enviable reputation over the last 32 years. We pride ourselves on our commitment to provide a professional and speedy service at all times, whilst maintaining the highest quality of work.

Most surveys in Britain are carried out by large corporate surveying firms, appointed by the banks to carry out mortgage valuations, and quite often Homebuyer and Building Surveys as well.

The worry is that corporate staff surveyors tend to be under enormous pressure to carry out very high volumes of inspections every day, covering large geographical areas, sometimes extending to several counties. Worse, many are relatively inexperienced. Although competent with valuation inspections, there are concerns that some may not have the necessary expertise and experience to accurately assess complex buildings.

The danger is not only that serious defects may be missed or misdiagnosed, but that relatively minor defects may be erroneously flagged up as serious, leading to a lot of unnecessary expense, worry and hassle.

Home Defect Surveys are a small family run local firm, Independent and Regulated with the RICS - highly qualified and experienced – with intimate knowledge of local areas and surrounding areas in the North West.
