We provide you with a full written report and will always aim to give a clear and simple explanation of any problems in terms of their cause and how to remedy them. Perhaps more importantly, if there are no significant causes for concern, we will reassure you and hopefully enable your sale or purchase to proceed. We will identify whether the visible defects are longstanding (and can be repaired cosmetically) or provide evidence of more serious ongoing structural problems. Our recommendations will usually contain an estimate of the cost of any repairs, although detailed quotations should be obtained from suitable contractors before making any financial commitment.
