🏡 FRIDAY: YOU CAN ONLY PICK TWO!

🏡 IT’S FRIDAY… LET’S BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME! 😎

But there’s a catch.

You can only have TWO of these:

🌳 A - Huge garden
🍳 B - Dream kitchen
🚗 C - Double garage
🔥 D - Open fire / log burner
🛁 E - Luxury bathroom
🌅 F - An amazing view

The other four are gone forever. 👋😂
Which TWO are making the cut?

We’re expecting some heated debate over this one… 👀
Drop your letters in the comments! 👇

Happy Friday from Risk Averse! 🏡

🏠 LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE? DON’T FORGET TO LOOK UP. 👀

Chimney stacks take a serious battering from the British weather - and problems aren’t always obvious from ground level.

A survey might uncover:

🧱 Deteriorating or loose pointing
⚠️ Damaged chimney pots
💧 Failing flashings allowing water ingress
🏚️ Cracked or weathered masonry
🔧 Previous repairs that haven’t quite done the job

And because chimney repairs often mean scaffolding and working at height, what looks like a relatively small defect can quickly become an expensive job.

Buying a property?

The view from the pavement doesn’t always tell the whole story.

That’s why we look beyond the obvious.

🏢 PLANNED MAINTENANCE: FIX IT BEFORE IT FAILS.

Commercial buildings don’t look after themselves.

Roofs deteriorate.
Finishes weather.
Components reach the end of their service life.

The question is: are you planning for it – or waiting for the problem to arrive?

A Planned Maintenance Programme helps commercial property owners and managers:

🔍 Understand the condition of their assets
📅 Prioritise works over the coming years
💷 Forecast expenditure more accurately
🔧 Tackle issues before they become costly emergencies
🏢 Protect the long-term value of the property

Because planned investment beats unexpected expenditure.

Know what needs doing. Know when. Budget with confidence.

🏡 FRIDAY: PROPERTY SUPERPOWER

If you could have ONE property superpower, what would you choose? 🦸‍♂️🏠

You only get one…

🔍 A: See through walls
💧 B: Instantly find the source of any damp
💷 C: Know exactly what every repair will cost
🏠 D: Know a property’s entire history just by touching the front door

No surveys. No ladders. No guesswork. 😂

We’re pretty sure a few Chartered Surveyors would happily take C…

Which are you choosing: A, B, C or D? 👇

Have a great Friday from everyone at Risk Averse!

🏡 IT’S FRIDAY… SO YOU’VE GOT A PROPERTY DECISION TO MAKE! 😬

You’ve found your dream house.

Perfect location. ❤️
Amazing garden. 🌳
Loads of space. 🏡

But the survey uncovers ONE expensive problem.

You can only choose one:

🏠 A - The roof needs replacing
💧 B - There’s a serious damp problem
🧱 C - Significant cracking needs investigating
🚽 D - The drainage system needs major work

Which one would make you walk away? 👀

A, B, C or D in the comments! 👇

And yes… our surveyors would probably want a little more information before answering. 😂

Happy Friday from Risk Averse!

🧱 YOUR BRICKWORK IS TALKING. ARE YOU LISTENING?

Pointing does much more than hold bricks together.

It helps keep water out, protects your home from the elements and plays a vital role in the long-term health of your property.

Over time, pointing can deteriorate, leading to:
💧 Water pe*******on
🧱 Loose or damaged masonry
💷 More expensive repairs if left unchecked

Spotting the signs early can make all the difference.

If you’re unsure whether your brickwork needs attention, a professional survey can provide the answers before minor defects become major repairs.
