SURVEYS

Which Survey is Best for You ?

CAN YOU AFFORD TO BUY WITHOUT A SURVEY?

Consider the facts:

  • Many lenders do not give you a copy of the Valuation Report
  • If you pay cash no one will look at the property on your behalf
  • You may be making the biggest investment of your life
  • Is the property worth what you are paying for it?
  • Do you know if it is free from defects?
All these questions and many more will be answered by a CHARTERED SURVEYOR acting on your behalf

AS INDEPENDENT CHARTERED SURVEYORS WE PROVIDE SOUND & UNBIASED PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

VALUATION REPORT

A Valuation Report is the briefest and most basic type of report to determine market value.  It is not a Survey and does not cover repair or condition in detail.
One of it's main uses is to provide a market valuation for mortgage lenders or individuals who are merely seeking re-assurance that the value of the property relates to the asking price.  It is NOT a substitute for the more detailed Home Buyers Report or Building Survey. 
Valuation Reports are also carried out for probate, matrimonial, taxation and insurance purposes.

HOMEBUYER REPORT

Comprises an inspection of the property, a concise report based on this and a valuation.
It is based on a standard R.I.C.S. format and may not  be suitable for older or properties of unusual construction. 
The inspection covers parts of the property which are visible and easily accessible.  The report covers the general condition and particular features, focusing on urgent or significant matters.  Minor defects are not included.

BUILDING SURVEY

A comprehensive inspection and report on the condition of the property, describing in detail, any structural or other defects of construction that can be seen by the Surveyor.
Tailored to the individual requirements of the client, the report details a whole range of defects.
A unique service provided by us is that we include a valuation as a matter of course (not usually provided) and a post report consultation.  We can also forward an additional copy of the report to your legal advisers if required.

Commissioning your own Survey will enable you if necessary, to reassess the situation before exchanging contracts and
avoids costly mistakes.
