FAQs
- Why do I need a survey?
-
When buying a property, the seller is not obliged to provide you with extensive details of the condition of the property – it is up to you to establish that you are happy to buy in its current condition. So if you choose to purchase without having any kind of property survey carried out, you are effectively buying blind. In the worst scenarios you can find yourself buying a property that needs serious renovation and restorative work that can end up costing thousands of pounds.
A property survey will provide you with insight into the current condition of the property from a completely impartial perspective. This can give you a stronger negotiating position if you choose to buy.
- I have my HomeBuyer Report – what’s next?
-
Having read and talked through your HomeBuyer Report findings with Able Surveyors, you now have several options. In an ideal scenario, no major defects or issues will have been detected, meaning it’s safe to proceed with your purchase. If substantial defects or underlying problems have been identified, it’s wise to investigate further before you make your final decision. We can carry out Specific Defect Surveys or Damp Reports, or arrange for other relevant investigations.
