When purchasing a property, you will want to make sure that your investment is structurally sound, and that there are no hidden surprises that could end up costing you a small fortune to put right. By making sure that you have acquired the correct property survey, you can save yourself a lot of stress and expense in the future.
A property survey will make sure that you are aware of any issues, either minor or major, before you buy, so that you can make an informed decision on whether you want to proceed with the purchase.
When buying property, your mortgage lender will do a valuation, but you shouldn’t rely on this as proof that there are no underlying issues with the home. Valuations are only a top level survey, and not an in depth condition and advisory report.
Our hard work is recognised through our awards that we have won, the latest being Best Surveyor/Valuer at the Financial Reporter Awards.
By using an established, well respected business such as Countrywide Surveyors, you can ensure that you are knowledgeable about every aspect of your intended property purchase, allowing you to negotiate the price or to arrange for repairs to be completed before committing to buy.
