What is a Property Survey?

If you need a mortgage to buy a property, then your mortgage lender will normally require a valuation to be carried out.

This is NOT a property survey, but an assessment of the security of the property for loan purposes for the benefit of the lender. It answers only the lender's questions concerning the appropriate security for your loan and not your own questions regarding your personal interest in the property.

Why do I need a Property Surveyor?

Buying a house will be one of the largest financial commitments you will ever make and if you want a good understanding of the condition and value of your potential new property, then you should seriously consider having a Building Survey or a RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation Report carried out by a surveyor.

Buildings are made up of varied components which at first glance to the untrained eye may look structurally sound but could conceal defects. To avoid any nasty surprises it is best to have a better knowledge of the properties condition. Home owners may undertake their own alterations, whether it's an extension or some internal alteration, without being aware of the structural implications. This could result in you having to incur additional cost to put things right on top of your purchase expenses.

A survey carried out by a qualified Chartered Surveyor will provide you with the advice you need to make an informed decision about the value of your prospective new property.

What type of Property Survey do I need?

A Mortgage Valuation is NOT a survey. In order to have a good understanding of the condition of your potential new property an in-depth inspection is necessary.

The RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation Report is ideal for conventional residential properties, including apartments, which appear to be in reasonable condition, but is not recommended for properties requiring extensive renovation, etc. This report will enable you to:

• Ascertain if the purchase price is reasonable and obtain useful information on any repairs required
• Get guidance about what decisions and actions need to be considered before contracts are exchanged

The Building Survey (formerly known to many as a Structural Survey) is a better option if you are considering purchasing a property that is "listed", or is of unconventional construction, or in need of renovation. This report will provide you with:

• A more detailed assessment of the various elements of the property and their condition
• Advice on the issues uncovered and remedial works required
