A house survey involves a thorough assessment of a property's condition by qualified professionals, known as surveyors. These experts conduct an inspection of the property and identify any issues related to its condition, ranging from minor to significant structural problems.
The surveyors will outline the necessary repairs or modifications, which could range from addressing a damp patch to replacing an entire roof. Additionally, the surveyor's report includes expert commentary on the property, such as the type of walls and glazing used.
Typically, the homebuyer is responsible for arranging and paying for the house survey after their offer has been accepted by the seller.
While it's not mandatory to conduct a survey when buying a property, it can help you avoid costly and unwelcome surprises. For instance, it can identify potential issues like the need for an unexpected rewiring job and provide peace of mind by confirming that minor defects like hairline cracks are not indicative of more significant structural problems.
Given the significant investment involved in purchasing a property, the cost of a survey - which provides independent and expert analysis - is a relatively small expense. The information gleaned from the survey can also help you reconsider whether to proceed with the purchase or renegotiate the price. For example, if the survey reveals that the property requires £15,000 in roof repairs, it's reasonable to ask for a price reduction of the same amount. Alternatively, you could ask the seller to fix any problems before finalising the purchase.
We strongly recommend getting a survey done, particularly if you have specific concerns about any aspect of the property, are unsure of its overall condition, are considering an older or unusual property, or the property has a thatched roof, is timber-framed, or is a listed building.
When selecting your survey, it's important to communicate any specific concerns you may have regarding the property. Take the time to discuss these concerns with the surveyor and ask them to investigate these issues during the survey.
While most people have a general understanding of what a surveyor does, it's important to have a conversation with them before they start their inspection. Consider asking if you can have a phone call on the day of inspection to highlight any areas of concern and ask questions about them.
After all, it's your house, and you should have a comprehensive understanding of everything related to it.
Contact us, and we will provide you with a detailed explanation of the problems and potential issues that defects in the property could cause in the future. We will also offer our professional advice on whether we recommend proceeding with the purchase or not.
Yes, you may request that the surveyor pays attention to particular aspects of worry or even elements of the property that you would like to know more about.
