FAQs

Why you should get a survey before you buy

In the UK, property transactions abide by the principle of caveat emptor, translating to – the buyer to detect faults or defects within a building before committing to the purchase.

Should you choose not to have a professional survey, perhaps thinking that a quick glance over the building by someone with an untrained eye will be enough and save money into the bargain, you could be making a big mistake. It is not uncommon for new homeowners to have to pay substantial amounts to rectify major building issues such as damp or roof problems that they had not anticipated. A professional property survey would have identified these and other types of issues, while the cost of remedial work could have been negotiated off the original purchase price, potentially saving you large amounts of money.

Why a mortgage valuation report is not sufficient

Many property buyers believe that a mortgage valuation is all that’s required for their peace of mind. However, this is not the case. A mortgage valuation is designed for the benefit of the lender, to ensure that the property in question exists and is worth the amount being borrowed. A mortgage valuation will not give any information regarding the structure of the building or any legal issues. You will need to commission a surveyor’s report.

Which property survey is best?

There are many different types of property survey, and the right choice will depend on the age, condition and method of construction of the building. Of all the property surveys, the Building Survey is the most thorough investigation and report. If you are thinking of buying an older/period property or a building that will need major renovation works, this is likely to be the best solution. However, if you are considering the purchase of a well looked after modern home or a new-build property, a HomeBuyer Report may suffice.
