An informed choice

The best way for you to make an informed decision on such an important investment is to have a professional survey carried out by a qualified Chartered Surveyor with extensive local knowledge of the area and who works on your behalf and nobody else’s.

A private survey will tell you what you want to know about the property and highlight any potential problems. This will avoid costly surprises after you move in. It may also help you to re-negotiate any agreed price if a serious defect is discovered. The cost of the survey, therefore, will be more than justified.

Buying a property is probably the most expensive purchase you will ever make. If you are paying for a Mortgage Valuation this is done for the benefit of the lender to assess the property is adequate security against your loan. However this is NOT a survey in the true sense and is primarly for the lenders’ purpose only.
