Homebuyer Survey and Valuation
The Homebuyer Survey and Valuation is a standard service designed to give you peace of mind at an affordable price. It is intended only for particular types of homes, namely: houses, flats and bungalows which are conventional in type and construction, built after 1875 and in apparently reasonable condition. The service focuses on essentials such as defects and problems that are urgent or significant and likely to have an effect on the value of the property. It also includes much other valuable information. This service includes:
- A market valuation, as well as a survey
- A report on urgent matters that threaten the fabric of the building
- Significant matters that could affect the price of the property
- Estimated rebuild costs for insurance purposes.
The service will help you to:
- Make a reasoned and informed judgement on whether or not to proceed with the purchase
- Assess whether or not the property is a reasonable purchase at the agreed price
- Be clear what decisions and actions should be taken before you exchange contracts.
