Building Survey Aldershot — Independent RICS Surveyors

Building survey Aldershot — independent RICS surveyors

Altura Surveyors provides independent RICS-regulated home surveys across Aldershot. With a high volume property market and significant post-war housing stock, local knowledge is essential for a thorough and accurate survey.

Property types in Aldershot

Aldershot has a unique and high-volume property market with a significant stock of post-war and ex-military housing. Many properties from the 1950s to 1980s include non-standard construction types such as Reema, Airey, and BISF steel frames. These construction methods require specialist survey knowledge as they are often flagged by mortgage lenders.

Alongside these older properties, there is a mix of traditional terraced and semi-detached homes, as well as newer infill developments. Understanding the specific maintenance needs and potential defects of these diverse building types is crucial for any prospective buyer in Aldershot.

Which survey is best for a 1950s ex-military terrace?

If the property has not been significantly altered, a Level 2 survey may suffice. However, if it's of non-standard construction or has been heavily modified, a Level 3 survey is recommended for a deeper structural assessment.
