Our Structure Only Survey is designed for buyers seeking a clear understanding of a property’s main structural condition before committing to purchase. It focuses on essential building elements to highlight any risks or defects that could affect safety, value, or future maintenance.

The survey covers key structural components, including roofs, roof structure, internal and external walls, and floors, providing an authoritative assessment of visible and accessible issues. Any evidence of movement, damp, condensation, or timber decay is carefully documented.

Produced by experienced Chartered Building Surveyors, the report is written in plain English, with photographs of defects and clear recommendations. Where applicable, we include budgeted costs for remedial works, helping buyers plan effectively.

This survey offers a practical, focused inspection, giving buyers peace of mind and supporting informed decisions without the need for a full comprehensive survey.
