Hailed as a splendid book - a "must" for any office - when first published and subsequently commended by the Department of the Environment and English Heritage, the new edition of this standard work retains the principles put forward previously but updates the detail to take account of changes in techniques, current Building Regulations and statutes, British Standards and the legislation introduced in 1966. It covers all aspects of the structure and services to enable the correct diagnosis of defects to be made in both old and modern houses, offers practical, environmentally conscious advice in a very readable style, is well indexed and contains many useful structural diagrams.

The Repair and Maintenance of Houses

With the introduction of Home Information Packs and Home Condition Reports house buying is being revolutionised! This second book in the series of four, following Inspections and Reports on Dwellings: Assessing Age, covers the entire field of inspecting dwellings, from ascertaining the clients' requirements, setting the instructions by way of agreeing the Conditions of Engagement for any one of the five types of report envisaged as being covered by the series, to the physical inspection itself. Desirable attributes in the surveyor are discussed - qualifications, necessary insurance cover, both in respect of liability for his work and his own person, together with his fees. Court cases determining the scope and level of inspection are given full consideration and there is a concentration on ascertaining, particularly in regard to age, the materials and forms of construction that make up each part of a dwelling, the structure, finishes, services and surroundings and its condition, all by means of sight, sound, feel and smell. *Contains 350 colour photographs *Relates defects to age and all types of construction *Second in the series of four
