A structural survey relates specifically to the integrity of your walls, roof supports, foundations, drains and other major structural components that would significantly affect the durability and safety of your property.

Major issues can be caused by various factors, some as simple as a general lack of care or poor workmanship. Others are more ominous, like subsidence heave or landslip. Either way, these issues could potentially cost thousands of pounds to put right. In the worst case, these issues could lead to vast amounts of damage to your property.

Make have experienced structural engineers who can visit a property to determine any structural issues you should be made aware of. This could be during the due diligence phase of the house buying process or due to issues brought to your attention on your long-standing dwelling.

Common symptoms of structural issues are:

  • Cracks in walls either inside or outside;
  • Doors that are sticking;
  • Windows that have buckled and no longer open;
  • Noticeable bends or skews of door and window frames;
  • Sloping floors.
