Ever opened a survey report and thought, "This sounds worse than I expected"?

You're not alone.

Survey reports are designed to highlight risks, defects, maintenance requirements, and potential future issues so buyers can make informed decisions.

In fact, many of the items raised in surveys are common findings that can help buyers plan repairs, budget effectively, or even renegotiate.

The purpose of a survey isn't to scare you, it's to ensure there are no surprises after you get the keys.

🚩 The biggest red flags are often hidden where buyers never look.

Unauthorised structural alterations and roof works are becoming increasingly common and most buyers have no idea they're there until a survey is carried out.

A surveyor can often tell a lot about a property's history just by looking at the external walls.

None of these are necessarily a problem on their own, but they can provide valuable clues about previous defects, repairs and ongoing maintenance requirements.

Over 100 years old, yet still holding onto its original engineering.

These cast iron columns and roof-opening mechanisms are a fascinating reminder of how historic buildings were designed to work long before modern ventilation systems existed.

It's details like these that make surveying heritage buildings so rewarding.

Is this happening in your home?

Black mould. Damp patches. Musty smells. Timber decay.

These aren’t just cosmetic issues, they can point to deeper problems that need proper investigation.

A Damp & Timber Survey helps identify the cause, not just the symptoms, so you can fix it properly the first time.

What’s included:
• Identification of damp types (rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation)
• Inspection for timber defects (rot, decay, woodworm)
• Moisture readings throughout the property
• Assessment of ventilation and airflow
• Inspection of walls, floors, and roof timbers
• Clear recommendations for remedial works

Don’t guess. Don’t cover it up. Get a professional diagnosis.

🚨 "The previous owner did it" isn't always the end of the story.

One of the most common issues we encounter is building work that was completed without the necessary Building Regulations approval and often it's only discovered when the property is being sold.

Extensions, loft conversions, knock-throughs and other alterations can create complications if the correct approvals and certification aren't in place.

The good news? In many cases, retrospective applications and regularisation may be possible. However, every situation is different, and approval isn't automatic.

Understanding the issue early can save significant time, stress, and unexpected costs later in the transaction process.

📖 Read our full guide on retrospective building regulations and compliance on the AMS Surveys website.

The biggest repair bills aren't always caused by the biggest defects.

More often, they're caused by the small issues that were identified early... but never dealt with.

🏠 Hidden roof defects can lead to costly repairs.

In this loft space we found poor ventilation, slipped slates, moisture ingress, wood-boring insect activity and timber decay, all issues that could affect the long-term condition of the roof.

Many of the most expensive property defects start where homeowners rarely look.

Found during a property survey... a newspaper that's likely been hidden away for years

But what's more interesting are the hundreds of tiny symmetrical holes scattered across it.

Most people guess woodworm. Others say rodents.
