Portsmouth is a maritime zone. Wet, salt air causes rust and damage. During the Home Buyers Survey in Portsmouth, your Chartered Surveyor will also salt crystals damaging windows, and the impact of erosion on the building's foundations. Your RICS Surveyor will advise you on marine proofing your home.
Your RICS Surveyor will confirm that properties built on these soils are prone to foundation movement. Some types of clay soil can be problematic for properties built on it, as it is water absorbent. The soil changes form and volume, depending on moisture content, and is capable of damaging foundations. During a Portsmouth Home Survey, the Surveyor will remain vigilant for any defects associated with clay soil.
