Enquire →Liverpool property
Every property deserves a considered inspection.
Liverpool includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis, post-war housing, converted buildings, city apartments and newer homes. The age and construction of the property, along with alterations and overall condition, influence whether a Level 2 or Level 3 survey is appropriate.
For older terraces, visible roofs, chimneys, pointing, dampness, ventilation and previous extensions may be relevant. With apartments or conversions, scope and access to common areas require consideration. The survey identifies matters visible and accessible within the agreed inspection scope.
- Roof coverings, chimneys and rainwater goods
- External walls, pointing and render
- Dampness, ventilation and visible timber condition
- Cracking, movement and previous alterations
- Windows, doors and external joinery
- Roof space and accessible internal construction
- Visible service installations within the survey scope
- Grounds, garages and outbuildings where applicable
