The typical process for undertaking a property survey.

We normally find the majority of our clients are the intended purchaser of a property. The purchaser of the property is nearly always the one who arranges and pays for the residential survey to take place.

In the vast majority of circumstances, a property survey is undertaken after an offer has been accepted by the seller. A survey can also be undertaken prior to an offer being made e.g. when a property is being sold through auction, or an assessment of the condition is required prior to the offer.

Once you have made contact with us, we can discuss the property concerned, look at the online property details, and any other specific requirements you may have. We will then consider the most appropriate/cost-effective type of survey, provide you with a price and anticipated timescale for the survey to be undertaken.

Why have a Survey or Valuation?

By Whisper Digital on behalf of The Residential Consultancy • April 24, 2023

The basic mortgage valuation is only to establish if the property is acceptable for a lender within that lender's specific criteria. It does not necessarily comment regarding all the defects which may be present. Our survey will report upon the general and overall condition of the property. Repair costs/maintenance can be substantial and potentially costly. The cost of your Survey can often be recovered through renegotiation, using our report.
