Our Services
At Duxburys inc Peter Dawkins & Co Chartered Surveyors, we offer a full range of survey and valuation services, tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our services include:
1. Residential Surveys
We provide thorough surveys for residential properties, helping homebuyers protect their investment by identifying any hidden issues before making a legal commitment. Our services include:
- Building Survey (Historically referred to as a Structural Survey)
This is the most comprehensive report, providing an in-depth analysis of the property's structure, condition, and any defects. It is suitable for larger or older properties or those with significant alterations.
- Homebuyer Report (RICS Home Survey - Level 2 Survey and Valuation)
This report includes a physical inspection of the property, a detailed report based on the inspection, and a valuation. It is best suited for properties in reasonable condition and is a cost-effective option for most homebuyers.
- Specific Defect Appraisal
If there is a specific problem or defect with the property, we can inspect it and provide advice to help you make informed decisions.
- Valuation Report
We provide valuation reports primarily to establish the market value of your property, based on a limited inspection. These reports are particularly useful for situations such as 'Help to Buy' redemption, probate, matrimonial, IHT, or when only an RICS-registered valuer's report is accepted.
2. Commercial Surveys
Our commercial survey services include:
- Pre-acquisition surveys
- schedules of condition
- Dilapidations
- Reinstatement cost assessments
Local Knowledge
Our surveyors are deeply familiar with the areas we cover, ensuring that they can provide informed and accurate assessments of properties in the region. Our expertise spans the unique characteristics, risks, and opportunities of the local property landscape, giving our clients peace of mind in the decision-making process.
