BUILDING SURVEYS

Building Surveys are integral to any property transaction as they assess the technical risks for either investors or occupiers. Building Surveys are a core service for Millbrook Building Consultancy.

A Building Survey Report is normally prepared for a prospective purchaser or tenant of a property asset or portfolio. However, they can also be prepared for a building vendor to assist in the sale process. Either way, we tailor our reports to meet your specific needs from each transaction.

Our reports provide an executive summary together with a description of the features and condition of each building element and its likely performance. We also provide budget forecasts for future repair costs. Our careful visual assessment of the property always includes analysis of the available construction and facilities management documents. In addition to a subject lease for example, we would also inspect and comment upon the common parts of the building or block to identify abnormal service charge items.

Whether you are a purchaser, fund, investor or tenant, our expert and comprehensive Building Survey report is invaluable.
