A Structural Engineers Report is a visual non-intrusive property inspection carried out by a qualified structural or civil engineer. Typically, it is to give a professional opinion of a building’s structural condition prior to its sale, usually as a result of a valuation or general condition survey. This is often in connection with a mortgage application where it may be recommended that a structural engineer is consulted on a specific point of concern. This is not typically a whole structure report.
