Why should I consider buying a property in Romsey?

Romsey is a popular, historic market town with plenty to offer its residents. For everyday life, there are great schools, independent shops, high street stores, a Waitrose supermarket, restaurants, cafes and bars, as well as a popular, bustling market on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

However, make sure you take time to make the most of the town’s other amenities including the abbey, green spaces, cricket clubs, rugby football club and swimming pool.

If you’re planning a move to the area, there are plenty of great properties to choose from. Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, don’t forget to arrange a house survey Romsey with a trusted local professional. At Trinity Rose, we will give you all the information you need to confidently proceed with your plans.

HomeBuyers Survey Romsey

Not all surveys go into the same depth and, if you’re looking at something built within the last 100 years that hasn’t had major alterations and you’re not planning big renovations yourself, it’s likely that a Homebuyers Survey in Romsey is a good choice. You will learn all the information you need without the same expense as higher level house survey options.

Our experienced local team regularly conduct RICS Level 2 Surveys with the option of including a valuation. We use a simple yet thorough traffic light rating system to assess the condition of the property including:

·       background information on the property and setting

·       assessment of the key building elements

·       a review of any timber/damp issues

·       a review of drainage and insulation

If you decide to add a valuation, our surveyors in Romsey will be happy to help. A HomeBuyer Report (Survey and Valuation) includes all the information above, plus a market valuation and insurance rebuild cost. This can be helpful if deciding whether to proceed or negotiate on the asking price.  

Building Survey Report Romsey

The RICS Level 3 Building Survey, also commonly referred to as a ‘structural survey’ is more expensive than other options, but is extremely thorough. This report is perfect for old, large, extensively altered or unconventionally built properties.

This kind of house survey in Romsey includes:

·       details of serious problems and potentially dangerous conditions such as woodworm, dampness, subsidence and structural movement

·       any potential problems caused by hidden flaws

·       a description of all visible defects

·       photographs to illustrate our findings

·       an outline of repair options

·       details of what might happen if you don’t follow the recommended actions

In Romsey, there are plenty of historic houses that require an in-depth investigation and this option is also a good idea if you’re planning big changes to a property yourself. If you’re not sure which survey is the right choice, we can help advise you so that you have all the information you need.  

Home Condition Report Romsey

Even if you think a property is problem-free, it’s always best to have some level of survey completed by trusted surveyors Romsey.

For newer properties, a basic Level 1 Survey or Home Condition Report is often perfect. It is our least expensive house survey option but still checks for structural problems with an overview traffic light rating system.

Limited Defect Report Romsey

If you’ve noticed a potential issue in your own home or a property you’re considering, a Limited Defect Report could be exactly what you need as you decide what to do about it. Rather than arranging a full house survey, this kind of report looks at individual issues such as damp, cracks, uneven roofs and infestations.

We can investigate the problem and provide a survey, including advice on what to do next.

Party Wall Surveying Romsey

Even if you get on well with your neighbours, there’s a chance you’ll fall out over works at your border. Whether it’s you or your neighbour planning the works, it can be helpful for an impartial professional to step in and settle any party wall arguments.

We use The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996 to write our reports which allow plans to continue or be amended in line with our findings.
