Choices – a brief outline of each Inspection Product . . . . . .

Note – Survey Products can be requested with any extras – the latter would largely be under a separate contract within a separate document.

Note – Don’t forget that we do not charge for an initial chat and product/fee quotation.

“ADVICE AND A CHAT” TO REASSURE YOU

Without wanting to insult anyone, or be at all secretive, this cannot be answered “just like that”. It takes time for us to understand what you need and can afford.

Things that cause our fees to vary include:-

• Property size (eg: gross floor area).
• Property type (eg: it is traditionally designed, is it detached, is it “system built”, is it registered defective under the Defective Premises Act, etc….).
• Form of construction (eg: modern or Period timber frame? Cob? Metal framed? Traditional cavity or solid walls, etc…).
• Are there extensive outbuildings?
• Where is it?
• Do you require basic survey products or additional services for specific reasons?
• Do you want us to include/arrange Services tests by Engineers?

We do have a Fee Matrix and this forms the benchmark for our bespoke fee quotation analysis and is not intended to be a rigid fee structure – each and every client is different and has differing expectations!

The best thing to do is to call us for a quotation – this starts with filling out the CONTACT FORM opposite (provide us with at least some basic data EG: 4 bedroom detached house – about 100 years old – value around £500,000 – Building Survey with Valuation opinion needed).

Hello, I’m Stuart Parrett. I am a truly independent, knowledgeable and experienced Chartered Surveyor and housing specialist. I am in the PEOPLE and HOMES Business where Information Discovery is all important.

I survey homes for faults and worth/value but it is not what I do but HOW that separates PROinspect from competitor surveyors.

THE HOUSE DOCTOR IS IN:

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

SOMETHING of VALUE for you —-

1-  COMING SOON – WATCH THIS SPACE – Inspection4 Ltd, a new way of instructing a residential Surveyor/Valuer, a new service level, a new concept; aimed at delivering prompt, targeted and impartial advice and opinion BUT staying with you through your complete association with any particular property. i4 will not “survey and go”: look on us as your in-house Property Adviser and Resource.

PROinspect Consultancy will be working in close association with Inspection4 Ltd and network of Chartered Surveyors, and others, throughout England. Those interested, if you are experienced, pro-active and commercially aware, should send a CV to Stuart Parrett at inspection4@proinspect.co.uk without delay.

2-  CONDENSATION SEASON IS UPON US – have you looked in the back of the wardrobe recently or in “that corner”?

Cold = drop in dew point = cold surfaces will attract condensate: Quick Fix – create airflows and reduce the amount of vapour in the air. Longer Term Fix = Raise the wall temperature by lining it with XXXX; properly kill off mould spores; introduce sensors that apply venting or temperature changes to the environment. Simple.

What often works is opening the window for as long as possible during and after sleeping/baths/showers/cooking (this removes water vapour that then cannot condense on your clothes and walls). You loose heat during this process and so you need to learn how to achieve these goals intelligently without icicles forming on your nose.

TheHouseSurveyor at YouTube will also deliver several important messages for those looking to purchase or those you wish to become Residential Surveyors and/or Valuers.

Those who have kindly provided testimonials for me say that I can be considered a safe pair of hands, somebody who is a real communicator and a provider of detailed and robust opinions.

Good reasons for using me in the central south coast area include that I take the time to listen to you and then help you make the right choice of survey product and have it completed at the right time. After this I genuinely communicate with you and don’t simply mail a report to you and that is it. No, I am always available for questions and meetings because you need to be re-assured your purchase is both a wise investment and you are not buying a problem.

I protect the biggest investment you’ll ever make in your life – your home – and I work with you every step of the way…..

I’ve brought together a lot of valuable information to help you organise property problems, alterations, private surveys and other services surrounding ownership, maintenance, sales, purchases and Expert Witness Reports.

• THE GOLDEN RULES OF SELF-PROTECTION DURING HOME BUYING =

1. When your “offer” has been accepted make sure you already have a loan deal secured in principle
2. Make sure you DO NOT agree to a combined Loan Valuation and Private Survey
3. Actually speak to a Surveyor (PROinspect down south) – do not accept an Assistant or a Secretary
4. Find out your Survey Product options, fee costs and the manner in dealing with any special concerns you have
5. Do not fall for quick deals or “linked” services often packaged by costly middlemen Agencies.
