As a Firm of Chartered Surveyors, David W. Pearse & Co. have over 30 years experience in the regional property market and sound professional advice is available on an extensive range of property matters.

Chartered Surveyor Homebuyers Surveys and Building Surveys are carried out throughout the North Wales, Cheshire and Wirral, not only for individual clients, but also for the majority of banks, building societies and other lending institutions.

We are always willing to discuss the findings of the survey with clients, to expand on points of concern or particular interest, or to call attention to specific problems even before the report is dispatched. In this way, unnecessary concern, delay, or even costs, can be avoided and the sometimes troublesome purchasing process can be eased.

It is as important to choose the right surveyor as it is to choose the right house.

YOUR CHOICE OF SURVEY & VALUATION

1. Mortgage Valuation Report
This is not a survey, but a valuation report. It gives advice with regard to the Open Market Value, taking into account any factors likely to materially affect the value. Brief mention is therefore made of any obvious significant defects. Such an examination is carried out in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Appraisal and Valuation Manual. Our Survey Department is recognised by the majority of banks and building societies throughout the U.K.

2. R.I.C.S./I.S.VA. Homebuyers' Survey & Valuation Report
A popular and concise report which will cover the general condition of the property and enable you to make an informed judgement not only as to whether or not to proceed with the purchase, but also to assess whether the agreed price is reasonable, and to clearly identify what decisions and actions should be taken before contracts are exchanged. Many find this report a useful aid in negotiation in that it identifies and highlights those defects considered by the surveyor to require urgent attention, as well as other significant matters, in an easy to read format as prescribed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The report also provides an Open Market Value together with an estimate for reinstatement/insurance purposes.

3. The Building Survey Report
Previously known as a Structural Report, this is the most detailed survey report we provide. Greater detail and technical content make this inspection the most appropriate for many older or larger properties, although it is equally suited for more traditional homes. The technical content does not mean that the report will be full of unfathomable jargon. It is presented in an easy to read layout with individual elements of the building inspected, assessed and described in a logical sequence, making problems relating to chimney stacks, roofs, rainwater goods, walls etc easy to assimilate and assess. The report also includes an Open Market Valuation. If you are at all uncertain as to which survey best suits your needs, please do not hesitate to contact us.

4. Reinstatement/Insurance Valuations
Rebuilding cost valuations for insurance purposes are provided for a whole range of properties.

5. Schedule Of Condition
Schedules are provided for commercial and retail property so as to assess the condition of the building at either the commencement or termination of a lease.

6. Expert Witnesses
We provide a professional approach and service as expert witnesses on a range of property related matters.

FEES
Full terms and conditions of engagement for any of the above surveys are available on request. Our fees are normally based on the purchase price of the property, where appropriate.
