Why should I consider buying a property in Christchurch?
Christchurch is a thriving, popular place to live, benefiting from its coastal location, stunning countryside surroundings, excellent amenities and great transport links. Its history dates back to early Saxon times and there is evidence throughout the town of its rich and interesting past. The Priory, for example, has been a beautiful centre-point for 1300 years, still drawing visitors from near and far for weekly services, music concerts and community events.
The town is popular with families thanks to its great schools, playgrounds, activities and location, while everyone appreciates the excellent range of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. It is important to keep an eye on the local events updates as there always seems to be something interesting going on. Whether you enjoy music, markets, art, sport, or almost anything else, there is sure to be a community event to pique your interest.
Transport is always an important consideration, and Christchurch is fortunate with its road and rail links. The A35 and A338 take drivers wherever they need to be while direct trains from Christchurch Station reach London in under two hours, Bournemouth in eight minutes, and Southampton in approximately 30 minutes.
Whether you are thinking of moving to Christchurch or investing in a buy-to-let, this is a fantastic and thriving place to purchase. Once you have found a property you like, be sure to ask a trusted Chartered Surveyor Christchurch to carry out a relevant survey. This will provide essential information about the structure and help you ultimately decide about the purchase.
Level 1 Home Condition Report in Christchurch
We are lucky in Christchurch to have a fantastic mixture of property including new builds. If you are interested in one of these homes, it may be tempting to proceed without a survey, but we would strongly recommend asking a local professional to have a look first.
A Level 1 Home Condition Report is designed for more modern properties that appear to be in good order. The surveyor will check there are no hidden flaws for complete peace of mind then supply a report with traffic light ratings.
Level 2 Home Buyers Survey in Christchurch
There are a few different types of survey to choose from and, if your property is a conventional, more modern building, we would most likely recommend a Level 2 HomeBuyer Report (Survey). This inspection checks for any issues the property currently has and alerts you to any it is likely to suffer in the future.
At Trinity Rose, our building surveyors in Christchurch offer the highly respected RICS Level 2 Survey, with the option to include an accurate market valuation and rebuild assessment. Once we have conducted a thorough inspection, we provide a detailed report in plain English with photographs and traffic light ratings covering the background of the property and setting; key building elements/construction; an analysis of any specific issues; and advice on next steps before you complete your purchase.
This essential information can be used to guide your decision to purchase and/or whether to review the terms of the sale.
Level 3 Building Surveys in Christchurch
Due to its long and fascinating history, Christchurch has a number of older, large and unusual properties which would require a specialist survey to properly investigate. A bespoke Level 3 Building Survey (often called a Structural Survey) is likely to be the correct choice and our team of property surveyors in Christchurch have the experience and expertise required.
A RICS Level 3 Building survey goes into greater depth looking for flaws and issues and your Trinity Rose surveyor will draw upon local insight to inform their findings. Following a thorough inspection, your report will include photographs, repair options, advice about what might happen without specific intervention and essential maintenance advice relevant to that specific property.
Limited Defect Report Christchurch
Another of our popular surveys, for those moving or staying put, is a Limited Defect Report. This looks into a single issue the client is concerned about, e.g. damp, cracks, an uneven roof or timber infestation.
A full property survey is often unnecessary in these cases and a Limited Defect Report will shed light on the cause of the problem while offering guidance on best next steps.
Party Wall Surveying in Christchurch
If building work is planned at or near to your property by either you or your neighbour, it is not impossible that you may run into disputes. The best and most amicable way to resolve issues is often to ask an impartial Chartered Surveyor experienced in The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996 to assist in the administration of the Act, which is a legal requirement that the party carrying out the work must follow.
At Trinity Rose, our team of surveyors are well versed in the application of The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996. We are regularly asked to help with party wall issues and are delighted to facilitate fair outcomes.
