The Building Survey is the most detailed survey available and is particularly suited to larger properties, which over the years have been altered and extended, and to properties which are in poor condition and generally require repair and refurbishment. We are also able to advise concerning compulsory purchase, rating, building and boundary disputes, and other general property matters.www.gsasurveyors.co.uk7 Preston New Rd, BB2 1AR
