Care for the building.
Clarity for you.
A considered approach to understanding the home you want to buy, with time to inspect, explain and discuss.
Why HomeScan
One HomeScan.
A personal approach.
You work directly with Daniel Knight, your surveyor and your point of contact.
The service is benchmarked against RICS Level 3, with scope and fee based on the building’s size, construction and complexity. The inspection day is dedicated to your property.
During the inspection.
I consider the building as a whole: the construction, visible condition, repair history and alterations. The tools used support that understanding where suitable and safe.
After the report.
We talk through the findings and their implications. You can ask about the recommended action, questions for your legal adviser and further checks that may help your decision.
The same property.
Different priorities.
Understanding risk is personal. What one buyer is willing to take on may be more than another can comfortably manage.
I assess the building’s condition, explain the consequences of the findings and identify the questions that remain. We then discuss what this means in the context of your plans, budget, timetable and comfort with uncertainty.
You’re planning a renovation.
You may be willing to coordinate repairs, obtain specialist advice and allow time for work. The survey helps you understand what that commitment could involve before you decide.
You need to move straight in.
The same repairs may be harder to accommodate if your funds, time or appetite for disruption are limited. We talk through which findings could affect that plan and what to clarify before committing.
You decide what you are comfortable taking on. My role is to give you the evidence, context and practical guidance to make that decision with a clearer understanding.
