Property Reports and Plans
For many reasons property reports relating to some aspect of your land may be required: we are prepared to rise the challenge of a request for unusual reports or plans aimed at solving a problem.
Structural Surveys
These are detailed reports of a building’s structural elements and are undertaken on all types of building. They are accompanied with floor plans and where possible budget costs for the repair of defects. They have proved useful to clients considering the purchase of a building.
House and Flat - Buyer Reports
These are intended as a basic inspection report identifying significant defects and problems a home may have and where possible giving budget costs for rectification. If required within this report a statement of value can be provided. Clients find these reports to be of assistance with purchase negotiations.
Defect Reports
These reports consider an individual defect in a building and set out a solution with calculations where needed.
Party Wall Etc Act 1996
This Act places obligations on those who wish to build or excavate on or near to a boundary. We can advise and be appointed to implement the necessary procedures as a party wall surveyor.
Boundary Disputes
It appears that throughout history, where there are boundaries there are disputes. Such disputes may be due to greed or misunderstanding. We combat both by providing an accurate analysis and delineation of the boundary.
Building and Landscaping Design
At Colin Hurst and Partners, we can design conversions, small buildings and landscape.
Planning Advice and Appeals
Whenever a change of use or a construction is to take place, the question must be asked: ‘is planning permission required?'. We provide not only the answer but if it is required, we can provide all the drawings and documents for a valid application. Further, should an appeal be needed against a refusal of permission or enforcement notice, we can provide that service.
