The chartered surveyors to trust
We offer high quality appraisals of residential and commercial properties and can prepare you a detailed home buyer report for Reading, Slough and Maidenhead properties. Buying a property is one of the most substantial financial outlays you ever make, and by engaging the services of a quality chartered surveyor you can ensure you are well informed about the property before taking the decision to buy it. This could potentially save you a fortune in repairs further down the line.
A crucial element of a property purchase is a mortgage survey, and it is important that you select the right one for you. Your mortgage application will always involve a basic mortgage valuation. This will be commissioned by your mortgage lender, and the purpose is to check the condition of a property to ensure its value is equal to the amount the lender is paying out. A mortgage valuation is specifically for the benefit of the lender as opposed to the buyer. The survey will not enter into details of the state of the structure or highlight any flaws the property may be in possession of.
The second survey we carry out is the home buyer’s report. The purpose of this survey is to investigate the present condition of a property in order to assist the prospective buyer with precise and accurate evaluation. The report serves to ensure that you are fully informed regarding condition and that you do not pay any more than you should when you make the purchase.
We also provide an estimate of market value that is based on our findings, rather than the asking price of the agent. The information presented enables every potential buyer to assess the entire situation and decide if the transaction should move forward at the current price. Furthermore, being furnished with full knowledge lets you ascertain a clear picture of any alterations that need to be made before you enter into a contract. This survey is in place for the benefit of the buyer alone.
The third option is the building survey, consists of a complete structural inspection. A building survey is suitable for all buildings but is particularly beneficial for older structures. A full survey is also advisable for any properties awaiting refurbishment or renovation along with properties that have previously been altered or extended. The building survey consists of a comprehensive check of the roof, walls, foundations and floors. We search for structural defects, wet and dry rot and inspect every door and window. We highlight any issues that may be present and deliver a detailed assessment.
