A Specific Defect Report is normally commissioned where a building suffers from a specific defect or a series of related defects. A Specific Defect Report will provide detailed analysis on the likely causes of the defect and give advice on remedial works necessary to alleviate the problem.

Common defects include:- Dampness, Timber Rot, Defective building works and problems with conservatory additions.








Abercorn Surveyors Ltd can provide structural reports for specific defects relating to residential and commercial properties. These reports will be prepared by a Chartered Building Surveyor.

Structural Reports are often required by Building Societies or Lending Institutions where a potential structural problem (normally structural movement) is highlighted on a Mortgage Valuation Report. A structural report is then required from a Structural Engineer or Chartered Building Surveyor.

Structural Reports can also be undertaken where movement has occurred to a property due to subsidence, landslip, heave or drainage damage.

 



Abercorn Surveyors Ltd can provide a new build supervision facility. During this process the construction of the property is inspected at various stages. Upon completion a Supervising Surveyor’s Certificate is issued. This certificate is accepted by most institutional mortgage lenders as being equivalent to an NHBC/Zurich/Foundation 15/Architects Certificate. This supervision scheme is of benefit to small building firms who construct less than 10 houses per annum and individuals constructing single dwellings.
