Owen Grainger Associates

We provide valuations for all purposes including buying, selling, renting, insurance, probate/HT, capital gains, mortgage, compulsory purchase and compensation. However a valuation is not a report on the condition of a property, as it provides only brief details based on a limited inspection. Therefore it does not supply enough detailed information on which to base a decision to purchase or lease a property. For this you will need a Building Survey, or a HomeSurvey/Homebuyers report (see below).

This is the most comprehensive and in depth report on any residential or commercial property. Your survey will be tailored to your requirements. It is an investigation and assessment of the construction and condition of a building, in as much depth as is possible without damaging the building or contents. It can include specialist reports (services, drains, etc.). The report will include guidance on maintenance and remedial works and often a detailed comment on individual defects.
