Media Coverage: Homebuyers risk thousands through insufficient surveys

Easier (Web), 30/09/2010

Homebuyers are risking thousands of pounds by not getting the right or even any survey to check that their home is in good structural order, according to reallymoving.com...

...Rosemary Rogers, Director, reallymoving.com comments:

"It's very hard for the untrained eye to identify potential problems when viewing a home. Some buyers may feel that a survey is an unnecessary expense, but this very often proves to be a false economy. Much like an insurance policy, a survey offers information that should protect you against any potential problems with your new home. It not only offers peace of mind, but can also help you avoid some hefty repair bills, meaning it can pay for itself many times over.

"A survey needn't be too expensive; in fact, the average cost of a survey has dropped by almost 25% in the last ten years, with a HomeBuyers' Report costing £341.85 on average or £422.83 for a Building Survey. Reallymoving.com will provide up to four free, instant quotes from a range of RICS Chartered Surveyors, helping you to get the best deal."
