Translate a Building Survey Into Action Points

A full structural survey runs to dozens of pages and hedges every finding, leaving you unsure if the house is a money pit or fine. This triages every defect into urgent, significant or minor, then estimates the cost impact. You walk into the negotiation knowing what's a dealbreaker, what's a haggling chip and what's just an old building being old.

**Step 1: Triage the findings**
Categorise every defect into three groups: urgent (affects safety or habitability), significant (costly but not urgent), and minor (cosmetic or routine maintenance).

**Step 2: Estimate cost implications**
For each urgent and significant defect, provide a realistic cost range for repairs using current UK trade rates.

**Step 3: Assess impact on the offer price**
Suggest a revised offer price or a retention figure based on the total estimated repair costs.

**Step 4: List questions for the surveyor**
Identify up to five technical points in the report that need clarification before you proceed.
