Why have a survey?
Purchasing a property is one of the more important and expensive decisions most of us ever have to make. Commissioning a private survey helps ensure that the decision to proceed, or otherwise, is a fully informed one.
Whilst most purchasers rely on the valuation carried out for their lender, the inspection is highly limited and the report and valuation prepared only reflect items which are of importance to the lender. As such, all they provide the purchaser with is an indication of value and the limited reassurance that the lender is happy to accept the property as security for its loan.
Commissioning a private survey from an experienced, qualified, local surveyor will provide considerably more information than is available elsewhere. The report will often identify defects and issues not mentioned in the lenders’ valuation report as well as providing information and advice on repairs, maintenance and value.
