FAQs

Although each client is unique, there are some commonly asked questions and the following information may help you.

Do I need a building survey?

Yes. An impartial and professional point of view can help you save money and avoid making mistakes by buying a property that you hadn't properly investigated.

What types of survey are available?

We can do anything you require. This could be a list of items specified by yourself, a standard survey report covering all the issues but concisely written or a detailed report that goes into much analysis.

What does a survey report contain?

Have a look at the Residential Survey page for information on what we typically include in a survey report.

Are there any 'optional extras' that I can choose?

Not really – everything you need to know will be included in the report. You may be advised to obtain an independent inspection of the gas, electricity and water service installations - these facilities are not tested – not just by us, but by any surveyor.

How soon can I expect to receive my report?

You will receive initial feedback by email within 24 hours. A standard survey report typically takes about 3-5 days and a detailed report about 7-10 days. If you have a specific deadline and need it quicker please advise us as we can often accommodate your requirements.

How much is this going to cost me?

Probably not as much as you might think! Foxtrot aims to maintain the most competitive pricing schedule. For a quotation, please contact us.
