Experienced and trustworthy chartered surveyors
When considering a property purchase, it is very important to make sure your appraisals and valuations are carried out by a reputable and experienced firm. As a building surveyor in Maidenhead, Slough and Reading, we provide a range of services. From structural surveys, homebuyer reports and mortgage valuations to schedules of condition, residential and commercial property surveys, we can deal with it all. Our role is to highlight and inform before our clients make any substantial financial outlay.
Buying a new home or a property for the purposes of letting is a monumental financial move, but also a potentially lucrative investment in your future. Prior to parting with a vast amount of money and signing anything it is imperative to ensure the condition of the property you are interested in is thoroughly assessed. When in need of a professional homebuyer report, you can depend on us to make sure that you do not overpay or face expensive repairs further down the line.
When you find a property you like it is natural to be concerned about the validity of the asking price. A homebuyer report is the perfect way of evaluating the price and condition. A house may look fine on the surface, but there can be many underlying problems and if this is the case you need to be aware of them before you proceed. The report will let you know the full extent of maintenance and repair requirements and the decisions that need to be made. A further benefit is an estimate of market value that is not based on the agent’s asking price but the actual findings of the homebuyer report.
We provide this particular survey for the benefit of the buyer as opposed to the lender as full disclosure of condition enables our clients to make informed decisions. All visible parts of the property are inspected by our skilled building surveyor in Maidenhead, and we provide a rebuilding cost estimate for flooding, fire damage and subsidence. We also provide details of necessary repairs and the urgency of each one. Additionally, the survey covers all legal issues, insurance rebuilding costs and any requirement for specialist reports.
The valuation of the property is always based on the current condition and we also investigate the numbers regarding recent property sales in the vicinity. The valuation price will also be altered to reflect the size of the property and the state of repair. The report and our efficiency provide all the information you need allowing you to take appropriate action if you wish to proceed with the transaction and exchange contracts.
