Buying & Extending your home - what we look for and how we can help you.
For most people, the purchase of a property presents a significant investment in terms of time & money and is the balance of risk and benefit depending upon condition, need and budget.
Andie will cover the different types of survey and inspection available, the reasons, benefits and risk of each and why different types of survey suit different types of property, even new build.
For those extending, altering or even replacing property, Andie will explain the process.
