Chartered Surveyor & Building Surveys in Kent

Building Surveys and HomeBuyer Reports in Kent

If you are searching for chartered surveyors or a building surveyor in Kent, Iridium provides independent residential surveying led by an experienced Chartered Surveyor. Coverage includes Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover, Cranbrook and surrounding areas.

For many conventional homes, a Level 2 Home Survey may be appropriate. This is the type of survey commonly searched for as a HomeBuyer Report or homebuyers report. It identifies significant visible defects, repair and maintenance issues, risks and matters that may require further investigation before legal commitment.

A Level 3 Building Survey provides greater depth and is generally more suitable for older, altered, extended, unusual or visibly defective buildings, or where substantial works are planned.

Local property and building issues

Kent contains a broad mix of modern homes and traditional property, including older timber-framed, weatherboarded and period buildings. Surveys consider the building as a whole and explain the significance of visible defects rather than simply listing them.

Historic and period buildings

Iridium also undertakes surveys of historic and traditionally constructed property, with consideration of solid-wall construction, lime mortars, timber, moisture behaviour and the effect of inappropriate modern repairs where relevant.
