 
You’re probably about to make the
biggest purchase of your life and to protect yourself
properly will you be getting a professional expert out
to check your potential new home? In fact, only 20% of
all homeowners actually ask a surveyor or someone other
than a friend or builder to have a look at the property
before they sign on the dotted line.
Having a survey carried out in advance can guard against many problems arising after you get the keys to your new home. You could be paying an excessive price for the property, there could be problems with the general fabric of the house of which you are not aware or the services may need overhaul or total renewal. Sometimes the surveyor may recommend you get certain specialists to assess some aspects of the property. These should be carried out before you complete a purchase. Usually these are structural issues eg: cracking or subsidence. Download our document - choosing between surveys.  |
