Building surveys
This document is written by Tersons. It covers short, medium and long-term works required to the property and is a detailed report. Designed for use with any age and type of building, it does not normally include a valuation unless requested at the time of instruction. this survey is essential for listed buildings and can take from three to seven hours to complete, producing a document that is 20 to 40 pages in length.
Historic buildings
These properties need to be dealt with in a different way to modern buildings, due to the different methods of construction and building materials used. When dealing with these types of properties, it is vital to get the correct advice as inappropriate work can result in deterioration of the building fabric and be a waste of money.
Many surveyors are not used to or are untrained to deal with historic buildings. However, Tersons' principal surveyor has a qualification in building conservation and belongs to RICS' (Royal Institution of Charted Surveyors) Conservation Faculty and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB).
Tersons is able to offer appropriate advice to ensure that historic buildings remain for future generations and that only necessary work is undertaken.
