Whether you are a landlord looking into a buy-to-let investment, a first time buyer considering your first potential home, or moving up or down the property ladder, it is important to get a detailed report as to the condition of the property before purchase.
Philip Carruthers Ltd utilises our experience as independent Chartered Surveyors covering Topsham to provide clients with detailed surveys and reports about the property they are planning to purchase. As members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and RICS registered valuers you can trust the high level of service we provide.
Purchasing a property is one of the most important investment decisions you can make and it is therefore essential that you have a detailed survey carried out in order to make an informed decision about your prospective purchase.
Philip Carruthers Ltd offer a range of surveys designed to provide clients with all the information they need. As well as condition Reports and the RICS HomeBuyer Report, Philip Carruthers Ltd also offer comprehensive Building Surveys which provide an in depth, analytical report as to the condition of the property.
With experience of surveying all property types, including listed and historic properties in the local area, we can identify defects and suggest remedial works, as well as being able to offer conservation advice.
Topsham is a sought after location containing many listed and historic properties. It is also possible that your prospective purchase is within a Conservation area. It is important to realise that a new owner of a listed property could be liable for the cost and responsibility of rectifying any inappropriate alterations or material changes made to the property under a previous ownership. It is, therefore, very important to commission the correct type of survey for the particular property that you are considering and to have any alterations properly assessed. Topsham’s proximity on the Exe estuary means that some properties have suffered from flooding in the past and more are considered to be “at risk.” It is therefore vital that the possibility of flooding is properly considered.
Philip Carruthers Ltd can provide in depth surveys and reports on all property types in Topsham, and further afield. Whatever your individual requirements, if you are looking for a Chartered Surveyor in Topsham or if you are simply looking for advice as to the most appropriate survey for the property that you are considering, please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone on 01647 252502, filling in the form below or by email at philipcarruthers@btconnect.com .We look forward to hearing from you.
