Homebuyer Survey
There’s a lot to think about and a lot of expense when you’re buying a house. So when it comes to a survey you may be tempted to think that your mortgage lender’s valuation report is enough. But is it? All that a valuation survey will do is highlight problems that could affect the security of your lender’s loan. In other words, property defects that could be important to you, as the buyer, may be of no concern at all to your lender and so won’t be included in the valuation report.
That’s why you need good, independent professional advice when buying a property. And the advice you’ll get in a Homebuyer Survey could cut down on stress and expense further down the line. The information it includes could help you renegotiate your purchase price, or, if there are serious problems help you decide whether or not to go ahead.
I can help you by carrying out an in-depth inspection of the property, reporting on all defects and advising on your options for repairs.
