Any building surveyers in the house.

My buyer had his house survey done today on my property.

My wife says he was walking about with a light beam pointing randomly at walls, standing across the road and shinning it at the front door, roof and walls.

My Mrs said it didn't look like one of those devices for measuring room dimensions.

Any idea what it's for or what he was doing?

maybe taking its temperature? but I dont think it would be any use when it's warmer outside than in?

Two possible answers
1= Laser measuring tool
2=Damp scanning,measuring device




or 3= Making sure the walls will keep out Noggys crap posts

I imagine it would, if the colder air inside was escaping it would show cooler spots same as if heat was escaping it would show warmer spots

[bigralphie]

I would guess a temp device to see how much heat is radiating from the house

Well, The FOC-U font of knowledge works well. Cheers for your answers.

Sounds like he can stand across the road and measure to heat loss radiating from my house.

I would guess something to do with checking for damp .

[slimwilly]

I doubt it will be heat loss,,as inside and outside temperature are about the same this month.

Full survey. Wife said he didn't give much away apart from wanting to extend into the loft.

As an aside. Lenders survey was done yesterday and he too had the same device that he was aiming about the front door?

Probably doing foc all, just looking busy.
When I had a survey done once they surveyed a 2 bed house but it was 3 beds, go figure?
