RICS Homebuyer Survey Report, Southall, Middlesex, UB1
A homebuyer survey was chosen by our client, as the property was a Victorian mid terraced house which had been subject to a number of structural alterations.
Our inspection revealed several significant defects and concerns. Party wall masonry to both elevations was also noted to be damp, with mortar joints between the bricks deteriorated in places. In addition, considerable dampness was found to the chimney breast masonry, together with loose and cracked render.
Moreover, a section of chimney breast had been removed. The remaining masonry above was supported on a short beam attached to the party wall by two angled brackets. This form of support no longer meets statutory requirements. There was a poorly constructed single storey rear addition. The roof tile covering had not been lined, and daylight was evident in places where tiles had slipped, allowing rainwater penetration. Given the overall condition of the property, along with our concerns over the various poorly executed alterations; we advised our client that the purchase price was excessive and that the property may not prove a sound purchase for the client’s particular circumstances.
RICS Building Survey in Southall, London, UB2
Unusually for a Building Survey, this was a ground floor maisonette. A Building Survey was chosen because it was a Grade 2 listed early Victorian property which had been marketed for a long time, almost immediately after the current owner bought it. Only minor issues such as a leaking downpipe and an uncertificated electrical consumer unit and gas meter box were identified, providing our client with comfort to proceed.

OUR REVIEWS
Statutory tax valuations
A Surveyor’s ability to justify and defend their professional opinion is crucial when tax valuations are involved. This is because the HMRC can challenge valuations and often do when they are not carried out by a professional Valuer. If the property is overvalued, it can result in a higher tax liability. If the property is under-valued, it can make the likelihood of an expensive and time consuming challenge by HMRC more likely, possibly with the addition of a penalty charged to the tax payer.
If you are the executor of an estate looking for an Inheritance Tax valuation or a if you are looking for a Capital Gains tax valuation, it is important that you get the right advice from an experienced, firm of Surveyors. At Websters Surveyors, our senior team of Chartered Surveyors and RICS Registered Valuers are here to do just that.
Our Red Book valuations provide you with the certainty that we have complied with the RICS’s valuation and professional standards and our advice is independent and unbiased.
