Buying a property and planning changes?
Bring Casa to a viewing to discuss the building work you have in mind before you buy. From removing a wall or renovating a kitchen to exploring an extension or loft conversion, we can discuss practical options, indicative costs and the further checks needed.
Advice is based on what is visible and the information available. Structural feasibility, permissions and fixed quotations may require further investigation. Indicative costs are budget guidance, not a fixed quotation or confirmation that the proposed work is feasible.
£295 including VAT covers one local property viewing of up to 60 minutes, discussion of visible concerns and proposed works, indicative cost ranges and a short written summary afterwards. Larger properties, extensive renovation plans or longer journeys may require a higher fee, agreed before booking. Tell us the property address, listing link if available, preferred viewing date and time, agent’s details and proposed works. Casa confirms the scope, fee and availability before booking.
SECOND OPINION ON LEVEL 2 OR LEVEL 3 SURVEY FINDINGS
Understand the repairs before you proceed.
A survey may recommend further checks on damp, roofing or structural concerns. Casa offers a contractor’s perspective on the likely building work, supported by a visual visit. We do not reclassify a RICS survey or certify that its findings are correct; specialist investigations may still be necessary.
