A structural survey, conducted by Vanguard Property Surveyors, is a detailed inspection that focuses on the stability and integrity of a building’s structure. This essential type of property survey examines the key load-bearing elements of the property — including foundations, walls, beams, floors, and roof — to identify any defects or risks that could impact safety or long-term value.
This type of survey is particularly important if:
- You have noticed cracks, movement, or sagging in the property.
- The property is old, altered, or extended.
- You are buying a property with signs of structural concerns.
- You plan major renovations that affect the building’s structure.
