Question 1

Will your report contradict the RICS surveyor's?

Accepted Answer

Usually it complements rather than contradicts — we investigate the specific caveats they raised. Where we do disagree with a rating in Hampton Village, we say so plainly and back it with photo evidence.

Question 2

How is this different from the pre-purchase roof survey?

Accepted Answer

Content-wise it overlaps heavily, but the framing is different — this document is written to be filed alongside your RICS report and reference its specific caveats. If you haven't had a RICS report yet, book the pre-purchase survey instead.

Question 3

Can my solicitor use this in Hampton Village pre-exchange enquiries?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's a common route. We can send the PDF direct to your solicitor and we're happy to answer any technical clarifications by email during the enquiry period for TW12 transactions.

Question 4

How much does the supplement cost in TW12?

Accepted Answer

£245-£345 for a typical Hampton Village 3-4 bed property, up to £445 for larger detached or complex roofs. Fee is confirmed once we've seen your RICS report and the estate agent listing.

Question 5

Do you need to speak to my RICS surveyor?

Accepted Answer

No — we work from your report and our own inspection. If there's a specific technical point you want us to consult with them on, we can, but it's rarely necessary in Hampton Village.

Question 6

Does the price include a chimney inspection?

Accepted Answer

Yes — chimneys are included as standard because they're the most common CR3 driver we see in Hampton Village period stock. No extra fee for stack, pot and flashing inspection.
