Homebuyer Surveys and Valuations
This is an economy package intended only for homes which are conventional in type and construction and apparently in reasonable condition. It is a concise report focusing on urgent and significant matters in a standard format based upon a general surface examination.
The objectives are to enable clients to make an informed judgement on whether or not to proceed, decide whether or not the property is a reasonable purchase at the agreed price, and to assess urgent and significant matters before exchanging contracts. The report includes a valuation.
Building Surveys
These are custom made to clients' individual requirements with the objective of providing the client with an assessment of the construction and condition of the property, and offering technical advice on problems and remedial works.
It advises in greater detail on the general construction of the property, its stability, the need to carry out urgent repairs and other potential expenditure. It will advise as to the seriousness of defects listed and possible remedies.
A building survey does not generally include a valuation, although this can always be provided if requested.
