Pre-Purchase Surveys 

 

are designed to ensure that you understand exactly what you are buying and will provide you with a independent factual report detailing the defects found on the craft and recommendations for remedial work. Our reports frequently help our customers save thousands of pounds by requiring the owner fix the defects or make a financial adjustment of the price according to what we find. Occasionally our reports make our clients walk away from what would have been a big financial mistake. Read more ...

Hull & Structural Surveys

 

When a full condition survey is not thought necessary a more limited hull and structural survey may be commisioned. Such as a refit project or a nearly new craft that has been know to have been damaged or that is still in warranty. Sometimes this is performed for cost considerations however be careful that future insurance of the vessel does not need a more comprehensive survey.

 

 

Damage Reports

 

A limited survey usually commissioned by insurance companies in connection with a specific claim or loss.  A damage survey will establish the extent of damage or loss and give a realistic estimate of the cost of repair.

 

The Surveyor works with the insured, the repair facility and all other relevant parties until the situation is resolved. The report can include assessment of liability.

 

Valuation

 

A written independent  fair valuation of the craft in it’s current condition and in the current market conditions. This is usually required for probate, finance or insurance reasons. Note that a valuation can be tagged onto a insurance or pre-purchase survey.

 

 

Pre Delivery Inspection of a new craft.

 

Experience has shown that new craft often have many faults. A recent inspection of a £360,000 craft revealed a leaking stern tube, excessive vibration under power and a overly stiff gearshift resulting in a new gearbox being fitted. These were in addition to a host of other small faults

 

We can produce a snag list pre-delivery so that any would be warranty issues can be addressed before you have sailed away and any issues become very inconvenient.
