Geoffrey Hunt Building surveying services offers a comprehensive, cost effective and efficient range of survey reports for property owners and investors.

Full Building Survey

We can provide you with a comprehensive, bespoke building survey report for all types of properties ranging from a full building survey, a commercial building survey or pre acquisition survey. Our surveys are based on RICS procedures and we pride ourselves on quick turn around and working to your specific brief. As we use a pay as you go principle you can tailor the cost to suit your needs. We even encourage our clients who require a home full survey to attend the surveying process. We can provide full colour photographs and electronic copies for clear presentation and easy transfer to your clients or buyers.

Defects and Disputes

Identifying, recording and remedying long standing defects in buildings is a key factor in tackling potential legal disputes or resolving issues with the so called cowboy builders. We offer a building pathology service to commercial clients but can tailor this as part of our residential surveyor service for home owners. Long running defects disputes can be distressing times for home owners and often a carefully prepared building survey report can bring to an end difficult conversations and stalemate situations with entrenched contractors. Even under a building warranty disputes can arise. To help you determine what standards should have been achieved we can produce a detailed snagging list or survey the property against the design plans to bring about agreed remedies and effective intervention of organisations such as the NHBC.
