Defect Analysis

If you own a block of residential or commercial units, you’ll know how important it is to keep your building in good condition with tenants happy and your rental income protected. Likewise, if you’re in the process of or are considering buying a block of residential units, you’ll want to be sure that your investment is sound and/or if repairs should be commissioned. In both cases, appointing an expert to conduct a defect analysis will give you the peace of mind you need.

Trinity Rose Chartered Surveyors has a team of chartered building surveyors who conduct diagnostic surveys and defect analysis for block owners, freeholders, leaseholders and landlords who want the reassurance that their property is in good condition or that a specific concern has been addressed correctly.

Diagnostic surveys, defect appraisal and reporting for all residential blocks and estates

Defect analysis is a professional service that’s provided to purchasers, owners and freeholders of residential block properties to identify potential problems that could prove hazardous or inconvenient to tenants and expensive to put right. At worst, issues that arise in residential blocks can mean health and safety or legal obligations are compromised, tenants being relocated and rental revenues impacted.

As part of our suite of Block Management services, Trinity Rose Chartered Surveyors carries out regular diagnostic surveys and appraisals of properties and estates for owners, freeholders, leaseholders and potential purchasers. This ensures their buildings remain in a satisfactory condition and safe for use of occupation with any problems addressed during planned maintenance works.

We conduct diagnostic surveys that identify defects from minor cosmetic issues such as poor decoration or hygiene issues to more complex structural problems and we issue detailed reports with recommendations for remedial action. A pre-sale defect analysis of a block or residential or commercial units can also help prospective purchasers proceed with confidence or negotiate a fairer price that takes account of any projected expenses.
