Buying a property is the biggest transaction you're ever likely to make and although your mortgage provider may conduct a valuation, this simply provides them with a financial assessment of your property's approximate value for loan purposes. Employing the services of a professional surveyor will give you a more detailed report and uncover any potential faults with the property before you buy.
Whether you're buying property for the very first time, or you're experienced at moving home, you should always appreciate the importance of checking out the condition of your potential new home before you buy it. Our dedicated homebuyers' survey section explains how we can make you aware of any structural or conditional problems before you progress with your property purchase.
When letting a property you must ensure it is in good condition and safe for tenants to live in. If you unwittingly purchase a buy to let property with underlying faults, you will probably need to put them right before you can market your property - this could prove both time consuming and expensive! Similarly, if it has been some time since you last instructed a survey on your investment properties it is wise to undertake a structural health check on your existing portfolio. Our landlords' property health check section provides information on our tailored surveying services, helping you uncover any potential problems.
