🏡 Why Knowing Your Property’s History Matters In the UK, most homes are quite old—83% were built before 1990, with 20% over 100 years old. Chances are, your property has had repairs, upgrades, or extensions, especially with energy efficiency improvements. As Building Surveyors, we can estimate when these changes occurred, but any details you provide help us offer a clearer property history. This leads to more informed buyers and greater confidence in their decision. #homesurvey #propertyinspection #surveyorslife #surveyingtips

🚗 Smooth Survey, Better Results: Access Tips 🏡 Clear access to your property helps ensure a faster, more efficient survey. Knowing where to park and any access restrictions saves time, letting the surveyor focus on the job and get you back to your day. Access within the property is key—can all rooms be reached? Is there a loft ladder and lighting in the roof space? Ensuring easy movement helps keep the survey efficient and prevents bringing the outside in (especially with unpredictable weather!). Lastly, rear access or keys for the surveyor help ensure every area is properly inspected. #homesurvey #propertyinspection #surveyorslife #surveyingtips

While building surveyors don’t conduct safety tests on electrical installations (as this falls outside their expertise), they can still provide valuable insights. 📊 Surveyors typically assess the age of the system and the type of components used. In a Level 3 survey, they may also record the number of power outlets in each area, if relevant. Additionally, a Level 3 survey always includes energy efficiency guidance, while a Level 2 survey may do so when applicable.🔌 We ensure you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your property. ⚡ #surveyorslife #electronics #homesurveys #buildingsurveyor

At Harrison Clarke, we tailor our surveys to provide the most accurate insights while respecting time and access. For Level 2 surveys, especially on larger properties, we may only open a sample of windows if access is restricted. This gives an overview of conditions and necessary works. In a Level 3 survey, we inspect all openable windows and have more time to clear obstructions, providing a detailed assessment and more specific defect descriptions for both windows and doors. Precision and clarity, no matter the survey level. 💼 #level3survey #homesurvey #RICS #surveyorslife

🎄 Merry Christmas from all of us at Harrison Clarke! 🎅 Wishing you a peaceful and enjoyable holiday season with good company, good food, and plenty of time to relax. Here's to a great end to the year and a fresh start in the new one. 🎁 #harrisonclarke #christmas #surveyorslife #christmas2024

At Harrison Clarke, we don’t just meet the RICS Home Survey Standards—we exceed them. 🏡 For Level 2 surveys, we inspect all accessible roof voids. If access is especially challenging, we focus on easily reachable areas to ensure efficiency and safety. With Level 3 surveys, extended on-site time allows us to investigate harder-to-reach spaces, following "trails of suspicion" to diagnose issues like water ingress—all while prioritizing safety. #level3survey #homesurvey #RICS #surveyorslife
