When Investing in a High Value Property, It Makes Sense to Protect Your Investment, to Make a Fully Qualified Decision and to Have Complete Peace of Mind

When you are considering purchasing a high value home in the UK, a detailed Cube Building Consultancy RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) survey offers significant value, providing you with comprehensive insights into the condition, potential risks, and maintenance requirements of a property. These surveys are particularly crucial for high-value homes as generally there is a substantial investment involved and often a complexity to their structures and features.

Cube Building Consultancy have completed many of these surveys in relation to the sale and purchase of high value homes around the UK, including for celebrities, so you can be positive you’re dealing with a company that understands and places value on discretion. Non-Disclosure Agreements are something we are happy to put in place should you want one.

The content below will give you an insight into some of the other reasons why choosing Cube Building Consultancy’s service is a smart idea.

Thorough Assessment of Property Condition

Cube’s detailed RICS surveys involve a comprehensive inspection of all accessible areas of the property, including structural elements, utilities, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, outbuildings, perimeter structures and so on. This complete and thorough assessment helps identify any existing defects, weaknesses, or areas requiring maintenance or repair, providing you, as the potential homeowner, with a clear understanding of the property’s real condition.

Identification of Hidden Issues

High-value homes may feature intricate architectural designs, historical elements, and bespoke features, making them susceptible to hidden defects or deterioration. If a more modern home, it could contain specialist, customised and tailored fitments and features.

Cube’s detailed RICS surveys utilise advanced techniques and equipment to uncover any hidden issues that may not be immediately apparent during a visual inspection. This has included using thermal imaging to detect moisture intrusion, identifying subsurface defects, or assessing the integrity of historical building materials. As we understand how some properties, particular historical buildings, were constructed, what materials were used and what the likely Achilles heals are, we can look for the telltale signs and explore key elements of these properties.

Risk Management and Mitigation

High-value homes represent a significant financial investment, and as the potential homeowner you will want to mitigate any potential risks that could impact the property’s value or safety. Cube’s detailed RICS surveys help identify potential risks such as structural instability, damp, subsidence, even environmental hazards. By proactively addressing these risks, you can either avoid costly repairs or ensure your offer is appropriate for the property you’re considering.

Informed Decision-Making

Armed with the insights provided by Cube’s detailed RICS survey, you or your agent can make a fully informed decision regarding the surveyed property. Whether it involves negotiating repairs with sellers, planning maintenance or renovation projects, or perhaps budgeting for future expenses, the detailed information provided by Cube’s survey report empowers you to take proactive steps to protect your investment.

Peace of Mind

Ultimately, Cube’s survey delivers you peace of mind. Knowing that your property has been thoroughly assessed by qualified professionals (only fully MRICS and FRICS trained and qualified surveyors), to the highest possible standards.

By having a clear understanding of your property, its condition and any potential risks or issues, you can confidently move forward with your ownership, or continue to search for the right property, secure in the knowledge that you have taken steps to protect your investment, ensure the long-term integrity of your high-value home, and you can enjoy wherever you purchase with complete peace of mind.
