Insurance Survey.
An Insurance survey is not quite so detailed as a Pre-Purchase Survey but will cover at least the items or categories itemised below.If you already own your boat and it is typically 20 years old or more your insurance company, likely or not, will require you to obtain one of these surveys roughly every five years.
This type of survey is being pioneered by the BMSE and the format is designed to be what the Insurance companies need in order for it to pass their scrutiny with the minimum of fuss. It slightly reduces the hours required by me to complete the work to the highest of standards which enables me to convert that into a saving for you.
