Why Choose Harveys for your Residential or Commercial Property Survey
Neil Harvey established Harveys Surveyors in order to provide a comprehensive surveying service to clients, giving clear professional advice at a competitive price.
Valuation Reports
A valuation report differs significantly from a survey and only advises on the value of the property. It is normally the result of a relatively brief inspection and will make assumptions about the properties condition and not investigate defects, which in the end, could prove expensive to repair.
The valuation provided will normally be on the basis of market value. A valuation report can be provided for many purposes including sale, purchase, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, separation and probate. The valuation will normally be on the basis of present day value although a retrospective date of valuation can also be used, particularly if this is appropriate for taxation or separation purposes

New Build Snagging
Developers often arrange the contracts exchange when major works are incomplete, promising the works will be carried out in time for the exchange and completion date. Inevitably, there are many cases where this does not happen and purchasers then find it difficult to make the developer deal with the outstanding works. We can inspect the property on your behalf before exchange of contracts to ensure the property is complete and free from defects.
We inspect the property in detail, both internally and externally and produce a Schedule of Outstanding Works which is then handed to the developer allowing work to be carried out to your satisfaction, prior to completion of the purchase.
Single Defect Assessment
A single defect assessment is an inspection of one particular fault or problem with a property. The inspection can be conducted before or after a purchase but is mostly suitable after purchase when the property has been occupied for a number of years. Over time defects such as dampness and timber decay can become apparent and the cause and solutions are often not straightforward.
Whatever the defect, we can inspect and assess the variety of possible causes and provide a detailed report with recommendations for repair and improvement.
