Surveys can be undertaken for a wide variety
of purposes and whatever your need we can meet it.
Pre Purchase Surveys
We offer two types of pre purchase
survey for residential property:
A valuation is an inspection carried out on behalf of your
mortgage lender to determine the amount and terms of a mortgage
offer. Your mortgage lender will probably ask you to pay for the
valuation and will send you a copy of the report.
A
valuation is not a survey. It’s a limited inspection to identify
problems that affect the security of your mortgage lender’s loan.
A property can have defects that are critical to a prospective
buyer, but are not of concern to the mortgage lender and therefore
won’t appear in a valuation report. That’s why you should not just
rely on the information provided by a valuation when deciding
whether or not to purchase a property.
A building survey is a comprehensive inspection
suitable for all properties but especially recommended for:
-
All listed buildings
-
Those built before 1900
-
Any building constructed in an unusual way regardless of its
age
-
Properties you are planning to renovate or alter in any way
-
Properties which have already had extensive alterations
A building survey involves a detailed examination
of all accessible parts of a property and can be tailor-made to
suit your individual needs and concerns.
A building survey includes the following
-
all major and minor faults
-
The implications of any defects and possible cost of repairs
-
Results of testing walls for dampness and timbers for damage
including woodworm or rot
-
comments on the existence and condition of damp-proofing,
insulation and drainage (although the latter will not be tested)
-
Extensive technical information on the construction of the
property and details about material used in construction
-
information on the location
-
recommendations for any further specialist inspections
A building survey does not include a valuation,
although we can provide a separate valuation report if
required.
