What We Do

At T J Goodwin & Associates Norwich we offer a full surveying and valuation service for residential properties and the three most popular forms are as follows:-

RICS Homebuyer Survey & Valuation

The Homebuyer Service is provided in a standard format and is designed specifically as an economical service. It is intended only for particular types of home: houses, bungalows and flats which are conventional in type and construction and apparently in reasonable condition. It focuses on essentials: defects and problems which are urgent or significant which may have an effect on the value of the Property – although it also includes much other valuable information. The HOMEBUYER provides a Valuation and reinstatement cost assessment as an integral part of the Service.

The Surveyor’s main purpose in providing the Service is to assist the prospective hovmebuyer to:

  • Make a reasoned and informed judgement on whether or not to proceed with the purchase;
  • Assess what would be a reasonable purchase price for the Property;
  • Be clear what decisions and actions should be taken before contracts are exchanged

Building Surveys

Level 2 Surveys and Level 3 Surveys

A building Survey (formerly known as a Structural Survey) is a bespoke service suitable for all residential properties and provides a full, detailed picture of their construction and condition. It will comprise a comprehensive inspection of the internal and external building fabric.

A Building Survey report can be adapted to meet individual requirements and can for instance include specific advice where a client is intending to alter or extend a property and we would be pleased to discuss your specific requirements with you prior to undertaking the assignment.

A detailed written report tailored to the property will be provided which will include:

  • Commentary on the condition of each element with particular reference to any defects that may be found
  • Advice on the appropriate remedy for the defects found together with an indication of the likely cost of repairs
  • Advice with regards to future maintenance of the building and the risk of deterioration developing in the future
  • Colour photographs will be included to illustrate the property and defects found (where appropriate)
