Basically, a chartered surveyor is a building surveyor who inspects a property for faults or defects as well as future issues or problems. They’re also able to work out the value of a property and also prepare a report in order to help you determine whether or not the property is a good investment or if there are any issues that may create problems later in the future such as damp, structural issues and the likes. In order to become chartered surveyor, a surveyor will need to undergo additional qualifications and possess a specific level of experience which is RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) approved.
