BCR Survey Services

BCR conduct Home Surveys on properties of both modern or traditional construction. Our  reports are bespoke to the property and intended to provide you with a clear understanding of your proposed purchase that will serve as a route map for your ownership over the years ahead. Clients who instruct BCR recognize that we will spend sufficient time on site to collect the necessary information with appropriate time following the inspection dedicated to considering how best to explain our findings.

Our Level 2 Home Survey (formerly known as a HomeBuyer Report) is designed to give you a clear, jargon-free understanding of your potential new property. Ideal for conventional homes in reasonable condition, this survey goes beyond a basic valuation to identify such issues as damp, movement and urgent repairs before you exchange contracts.

When a property is older, larger, or showing its age, a standard inspection simply isn't enough. Our Level 3 (formerly known as a Building Survey) is a comprehensive "deep dive" report, designed specifically for period properties, buildings of non-traditional construction or homes planned for major renovation. This service provides a thorough 'top to bottom' analysis of the property. We identify defects and explain their causes, provide professional advice on repairs and outline the potential consequences of inaction. Click on the image above for more details.

Are you concerned about a specific issue in your property? Whether it's a damp patch, defective insulation or a suspected roofing problem, our Specific Defects Reports provide a focused and detailed assessment of your concerns. Unlike a full building survey, a Specific Defects Report targets a particular area or problem within a property. This allows for a more cost-effective and efficient investigation, providing you with professional insight and recommendations. Click on the image above for more details.

​Our BCR pre-sale ‘Home Insight’ Survey provides upfront, clear and independent information and is designed to deliver insight from the moment a property is listed, with the aim of speeding up sales, cutting fall-throughs, supporting compliance and encouraging transparency.

By taking a comprehensive ‘whole building’ approach and considering the following factors, we can create energy-efficient and sustainable homes. Prioritizing Energy Efficiency: It is often said that "the most sustainable energy is the energy we don't use." The primary goal in retrofitting buildings is to conserve energy, not just generate it. Reducing demand first minimizes the size and operating costs of future upgrades to systems. To achieve successful energy-efficient retrofits, it is essential to first understand the building's unique characteristics - please ask us for more details.
