💷 What Does It Cost?
Our service is chargeable due to the time and expertise required to produce a professional quotation.
We are not RICS surveyors. We provide repair cost assessments only.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend obtaining a Home Buyers Report or structural survey where possible, as this helps identify defects that require pricing. However, we can also inspect specific concerns or visible issues raised by buyers.
Is this the same as a structural survey?
No. We are not RICS surveyors. Our service provides professional repair cost assessments and quotations for building, damp, roofing, and structural works. We recommend obtaining a survey alongside our quotation.
Can your quotation help reduce the purchase price?
Yes. Many buyers use our professional quotation to support price negotiations with the vendor or to plan repair costs before completing the purchase.
How detailed is the quotation?
Our quotations are fully itemised and provide a clear breakdown of repair costs, scope of works, and recommendations. They are suitable for budgeting, negotiation, and planning future works.
Do you carry out the work after purchase?
Yes. If you proceed with the property, Quirks Property Maintenance Ltd can complete all recommended works including damp treatment, structural repairs, roofing works, and renovations.
How quickly can you attend the property?
We aim to arrange site visits promptly and prioritise urgent property purchases where deadlines apply. Please contact us to discuss availability.
How long does it take to receive the quotation?
Following the inspection, we issue your professional written quotation promptly so you can proceed with your purchase decision.
How much does the service cost?
Our Home Buyers Quotation Service is chargeable due to the time, expertise, and detailed assessment required. This ensures you receive a professional, accurate quotation rather than a rough estimate.
Can you inspect vacant or tenanted properties?
Yes, we can inspect both vacant and occupied properties with appropriate access arranged through the estate agent, vendor, or tenant.
What types of problems can you provide quotations for?
We provide quotations for damp issues, roofing defects, structural movement, timber decay, ventilation improvements, renovations, and general building repairs identified during inspection.
