When it comes to property concerns, sometimes you don’t need a full survey – you just need to focus on one specific issue. If you’ve noticed something concerning, like cracks in the walls or signs of damp, a Specific Defect Survey is an excellent way to get to the bottom of the problem. It targets one particular area of concern, giving you a detailed diagnosis and recommendations for how to proceed.

How It Works
The Specific Defect Survey is a focused inspection that deals with one area of the property that’s causing you concern. Whether it’s a damp patch, a crack in the wall, or signs of poor drainage, the survey is tailored to assess the problem in detail. The surveyor will identify the root cause and offer solutions for addressing the issue.

For example, one homeowner suspected there was a structural issue in their property due to noticeable cracks in the walls. A Specific Defect Survey revealed that the cracks were caused by natural settling, not structural movement, which helped ease the homeowner’s concerns.

Tailored to You
Unlike general surveys, a Specific Defect Survey allows you to focus your attention on one issue without paying for a comprehensive survey. It’s perfect for when you’re concerned about something specific, like a recurring damp issue, cracked tiles, or signs of subsidence.
