The Surveyor's Guide is a 'how to' for the world of surveying and valuation. Used as a part of the SAVA Diploma in Residential Surveying and Valuation these videos aid surveyor’s, both learning and practicing. They help to hone the skills of the individual elements associated with residential surveys and valuations such as the RICS Home Buyer Report and the SAVA Home Condition Survey.
SAVA is an expert in the field of residential property surveying and valuation, operating both the SAVA School of Surveying and the SAVA Scheme.
The SAVA School of Surveying offers a part-time training option for those looking to become residential surveyors and valuers. The Diploma in Residential Surveying and Valuation combines property market expertise with an understanding of buildings and allows for direct entry to RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) as an Associate member (AssocRICS). The diploma offers the only vocational route into the surveying profession for those without a relevant degree.
The SAVA Scheme is a membership scheme for residential Chartered Surveyors (Associate, Members and Fellows of RICS) and surveyors who hold either the Diploma in Home Inspection or the Diploma in Residential Surveying in order to produce Home Condition Surveys (HCS).
SAVA is owned and operated by National Energy Services Limited.

I have watched this video many times and it never gets old. Great work Phil!

[@malcolmholland95]

as a local surveyor I recognise the street. Unusually for this part of the country there are a number of houses in the road dating to around 1910 that have cavity walls. There must have been a local builder a bit ahead of his time as there are a number of examples around here dating from around 1900-1914. So you always have to be alert to the unexpected. They can be identified by the bond of the brickwork and the width of the walls. This one has Flemish bond which would normally be a solid wall (unless snap headers have been used).
