Although building surveys are suitable for all properties, they are especially important for buildings that are:

- Older and/or listed
- Unusual or non-traditionally built
- Dilapidated
- Extensively altered or extended
- Having known or suspected problems

Properties with these characteristics are more likely to have condition problems that need to be highlighted.
