With unprecedented levels of demand for properties in Berkshire, home buyers and investors are exposed to the risk of paying for a property that could end up costing them considerably more than they had bargained for. Whilst to even the most experienced buyer a property may seem to be in good order, and listed at a reasonable price, there can be hidden signs that suggest major problems are likely to affect it over the coming years. Avoiding this is possible by calling on a suitable surveyor to inspect and report on a property prior to purchase. At Patterson Francis & Associates we have a strong track record for delivering the complete and comprehensive type of home buyer report Slough property buyers can rely upon when considering making an investment.

Ensuring you arrange for a full report on a property in Slough can be one of the shrewdest and astute moves you can make. Whilst properties in the area are in such high demand that you fear losing out on a deal whilst awaiting a survey to be done, the truth is it may well save you from making an incorrect bad investment. There is a great difference between a building “looking all right” and actually being in good order. Potential weaknesses from wear and tear may not be visible in a general viewing or inspection, leaving you exposed to the risk – and cost – of only detecting them when the damage is done.

Patterson Francis & Associates work as quickly and efficiently as possible to carry out our surveyor work and deliver to you a report detailing everything you need to know about a property. Our in depth and intrinsic knowledge of the Slough property market means we are in prime position to know if a valuation is accurate. Our ability to identify possible problems – both short and long term – with a property can and usually do also have bearing on the estimated value of a property. Any work or repairs required on a property naturally affect the presented value of it. Knowledge of what these issues are, and the cost implications for having them addressed, means you have a much more informed base from which to make an appropriate offer for a property.

Our objective, third party position in regards of home buyer reports for Slough enables fair and accurate property transactions to take place. With a comprehensive and factual assessment of all aspects of a property, buyers can with confidence offer a suitable bid for a property, with the seller in no doubt that the offer is reasonable.
