ISVA Home Survey Reports
Ideal for Buyers Wanting a Concise Yet Reliable Overview
The ISVA Home Survey Report is designed to give homebuyers a clear understanding of a property’s general condition without the detail of a full Building Survey. It’s suitable for more modern homes, well-maintained properties or those without visible structural concerns.
This report provides:
- A clear summary of the property’s condition
- Traffic-light ratings for key building elements
- Identification of urgent or significant defects
- Advice on necessary repairs and maintenance
- Comments on risks affecting the property’s value
As independent surveyors, we offer unbiased advice to help you proceed with confidence before exchanging contracts.
Structural Assessment
Independent Structural Guidance for Concerns, Renovations or Extensions
A Structural Assessment focuses specifically on the stability, integrity and performance of the building’s main load-bearing elements. This service is essential if you have noticed issues such as cracking, movement, sagging roofs or uneven floors.
Typical reasons for a Structural Assessment:
- Planning a loft conversion, extension or renovation
- Concerns about subsidence or settlement
- Visible cracks or movement
- Damage after leaks or storms
- Purchasing a property with suspected structural defects
Our structural expertise allows us to identify causes, explain risks, and recommend appropriate remedial action.
Building Defect Diagnosis
Specialist Investigation of Specific Property Problems
If you have a particular issue affecting your property, our targeted defect diagnosis service identifies the cause quickly and accurately. This is ideal for homeowners, landlords, property managers and investors needing professional answers before committing to repairs.
Common issues we investigate:
- Damp, mould and condensation
- Roof leaks, tile displacement and flashing failure
- Cracks in walls or ceilings
- Timber decay or insect infestation
- Drainage concerns
- Brickwork, pointing and render failure
We provide clear recommendations and practical next steps to help you resolve the issue efficiently.
