What is a stock condition survey?
A ‘Stock Condition Survey’ is a detailed inspection of your home, both internally as well as externally. The survey assists us in assessing the age and condition of each building element, which in turn helps us to plan improvements that might be due in the
future.
Why are we doing stock condition surveys?
A stock condition survey is essential for us to gather information to make sure that we are adhering to the Government’s ‘Decent Home Standard’. The information that we collect regarding the condition of our properties helps to ensure all homes are safe and maintained to a decent standard.
What will we be looking at?
We will typically be looking at:
- External – the roof, rainwater goods, walls, windows, doors, fences, and paths.
- Internal – kitchen, bathroom, etc
We will also make a note of the general structure of the property (both internal and external) and any communal areas.
The survey should take up to 30 minutes for a flat and up to 60 minutes for a house. Ideally, we will need access to all rooms in your home, and some photos will be taken during the survey but not of your personal possessions.
We also offer tailored surveys to look for specific problems required by the client.
