Why have a survey?

Do you know what you are buying?

Understanding the importance of having a survey is crucial for homebuyers. Research has found that, on average, homebuyers, who don’t have a survey, spend over £5,500 on unexpected repair work, after purchasing a home. A survey provides a detailed schedule of condition and potential defects. These defects are likely to affect the existing value and future saleability of the property you are purchasing.

What a survey detects…

Many common defects detected in surveys highlight the significance of a survey: subsidence, damp, dry/wet rot, roof faults, and Japanese Knotweed. In addition to structural defects, a survey can also assist your solicitor in finding potential legal issues related to the property. Recognising these issues amplifies the importance of having such a survey, reinforcing why it is essential.
