Purchasing a residential property is one of the largest financial commitments you can make and professional expertise and independent advice from a RICS Regulated Chartered Building Surveyor can be invaluable in making an informed decision.

C W Johnson Limited have experience of surveying both residential and commercial properties with our full Building Survey reports suited to each individuals’ requirements.

We are an independent and local practice, enabling local knowledge and experience to be applied to all our commissions. We are also not affiliated to any mortgage lenders allowing impartiality in our reports.

Our Building Surveys are suitable for all types of building and typically recommended for large, older or rundown properties including buildings that are unusual or altered, including barn conversions, and properties that will be subject to major works. They can also be commissioned by Architects and fellow professionals to support planning applications and other specialist activities.

Our full Building Surveys provide a thorough inspection of internal and external areas, and a detailed assessment of both the construction and condition of a property. Our detailed reports include a wide range of issues such as damp, condensation, rot, subsidence as well as providing a description of visible defects and potential problems, and outline of repair options and the likely consequences of taking no action, and guidance for legal advisers, as well as details of serious risks and dangerous conditions.

Our reports also include photographs and helpful advice, and will help you to reach an informed decision about the overall condition of your property.

Whether you are a residential or commercial purchaser, or a buy to let investor, our full Building Survey Reports will assist in your decision to proceed with the purchase.

We also offer a Home Survey report which may be suitable for conventional properties which are in reasonable condition. Please see our Home Survey page here for more information.
