The
Henry Stewart 2005 Briefing on
Building Appraisal
-
How to evaluate a building
-
Expectations for property advice
-
Do clients want a Building Survey?
-
Changes and updates
Reporting
upon the condition of a building will not be enough to meet the demands
of an increasingly challenging client base. Information about the
condition of a building is only one part of the process of informing
a client about the consequence of property ownership. ‘Building
Appraisal’ balances the assessment of the condition of the building
with the relevance of that and other information for the property
owner.
This
briefing sets out to inform surveyors about the common faults in commercial
and residential buildings and the changes in legislation over the
past year. In addition, it updates surveyors on the legal implications
for their work.
Topics
covered include:
-
Construction – identifying how the building goes together and weakness in common construction forms
-
Asbestos – the risk and its recognition; remedy, implications and the cost of removal
-
Services – the inspection of and reporting on the electrical installation
-
Home Condition Report
-
Defects update - where are they happening?
-
Predicting failure – responsibility for what cannot be seen
-
Due diligence – how much does the condition affect an investor/purchaser?
-
Valuation of loss
-
Recent legal developments
For
all building surveyors, valuers and home inspectors, as well as repair
and maintenance and property management professionals and lawyers
involved in commercial and residential building appraisal.
Full
documentation will be provided to all delegates and adequate time
set aside for questions.
