One of my funniest memories is…
Swimming with pigs in the Bahamas.
You might be surpsied to know that…
Elton John has been my neighbour.
On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…
Walking the dog around Ascot racecourse.
My guilty pleasures are…
Prosecco, Prosecco, Prosecco!
The thing I like best about my job is…
The people.
The best piece of advice I’ve been given is…
You come into this world with no money, and you go out this world with no money.

Unlike a mortgage valuation, an RICS Homebuyer’s Report or Condition Report, a Building Survey is usually commissioned by a landowner or buyer in order to further investigate the structural condition and/or defects in a building.
A Condition Report or Homebuyer’s Report, the former of which includes elements of a Condition Report, will summarise a property’s general condition. A Structural Report or Building Survey will identify and report on the condition of the property and go into more detail to identify specific faults.
A structural report is usually undertaken by a Chartered Building Surveyor or Engineer, rather than a Chartered Valuation Surveyor, although the former may also specialise in Building Reports.
A Structural or Building Survey is sometimes commissioned after receipt of a critical Homebuyers or Condition Report. It will not usually include a valuation of the premises. Bear this in mind when commissioning reports for a lender and consider asking the surveyor to provide a valuation at the same time. Make sure any valuer has the relevant qualifications before instructing them to proceed.
