I need to have a house surveyed and I am not sure how to choose one as there are a lot on the internet.
I need the survey for a structual survey, as the owner removed chimney to the loft height 25 years ago But I am concerened it is not to todays standards I think its supported on wood and I know it has to be supporteed on RSJ type beams now!
So I need a good surveyor that will actually get in the loft and find out how it is supported. I assume some may "just" look from the loft hatch!
I would assume as in any industry some companies are better than others?
Should I be looking for a "RICS" member?
I live on suffolk, cambridgshire border
Any suggestions or pitfalls or ideas please?
Thanks Gary
