Pre-acquisition Surveys

 

When you are a prospective house buyer, most solicitors will recommend that you have a pre-acquisition survey carried out on the prospective property. Our team of surveyors have the credentials to ensure that you will get the best possible service to help you maximise the value, condition or use of your potential property. They also aim to give you peace of mind by minimalizing liabilities and ensure you are safeguarded from changing statutory requirements.

 

Party Wall

 

A Party Wall is a dividing partition between two properties, the owners of which have shared responsibility for the wall. Our Chartered Surveyors are experienced in Party Wall matters and can offer consultations regarding the complexities of this process. We can prepare a Party Wall Agreement (Part Wall Act, 1996) and set out the owners’ rights and responsibilities in relation to how the work should proceed. Similarly, we can advise neighbouring owners who may potentially be affected by works from the adjoining property.

 

Dilapidations

 

Our surveyors excel in producing highly detailed reports regarding the current condition of buildings, determining what potential exit costs may be towards the end of a tenancy and are extremely competent in negotiating successful outcomes for commercial landlords and tenants. We provide services for both parties.

Planned Preventative Maintenance

 

Blacksons’ team of expert surveyors can help to advise and coordinate your Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) strategy to help you understand the cycle of costing of your assets so that you can budget for any maintenance tasks, to make sure they are scheduled ahead of time.

 

This survey is a useful tool to identify the condition of the property to allow for a strategic approach to managing refurbishment, maintenance, acquisition and disposal. Our experts are able to undertake PPM projects for both residential and commercial sectors.
