Orders may taken verbally and are
normally confirmed to you in writing by email or letter, detailing the type of
service required and the fee basis. Alternatively you may place your order
using the website facilities and we will normally confirm the order to you in
writing by email. Failure to confirm in writing will not invalidate the verbal
contract or your website order.

In
the case of a fixed fee service, if you request us to carry out additional
work, an additional fee will be payable and will calculated on a time plus
disbursements/expenses basis unless otherwise agreed.
|
|

Standard fees quoted by our website or
given by our Survey Advisers are usually applicable to a 3-4 bedroomed house of
traditional construction, no more than about 150 years old, and with no access
difficulties. If the property you are enquiring about is different to this or
if there are any unusual circumstances which might affect our ability to carry
out a survey, you must inform us at the time of your enquiry.

4.
|
If
we find that we are unable to fulfil your order because the situation with the
property/site is significantly different to that previously described to us, or
we are prevented from doing so by another party or by law or regulation or
professional code of conduct, or we consider there to be an unacceptable health
& safety risk you will pay to us the reasonable cost of time and expenses
incurred.

Services
are normally undertaken in accordance with the particular requirements of the
addressee and for a particular purpose. Consequently any liability which may
arise from our service(s) will be restricted to the addressee only and neither
ourselves nor the Supplier are to be held responsible for any action taken by
others to whom this report may be made available unless we have agreed
otherwise in writing.

|
6.
|
Where
estimated costs, budgets or allowances for remedial works are given in the
report, these are only to indicate the likely order of costs, they must not be
considered as an accurate assessment of costs and must not be relied upon as
such. Due to the varying complexity of repair and remedial works you are
advised to obtain written estimates, quotations or tenders from specialist
contractors with relevant experience before making any financial commitment.
