Services We Provide

Property Valuations by Patterson Francis and Associates

Property Valuations

A mortgage valuation is a fairly brief document produced for the benefit of the lender. To assist in evaluating how much to lend against a property. It does not provide much useful information for the buyer. It is the lender’s own view of the market and provides very limited comment on the state or condition of the property.

We carry out independent valuations as a panel member for various lenders via secure websites such as Valnet, Valuation Exchange and Quest, using online mortgage valuation reports.

HomeBuyer Reports

All HomeBuyer Reports are in official RICS pre-printed format.

This report is relevant to newer or conventional property. The homebuyer report allows you to evaluate whether the agreed purchase price is reasonable based on the extent of repairs and maintenance required and the degree of urgency, together with any requirements for specialist reports or additional investigation.

The homebuyer report allows you to evaluate whether you wish to continue with the transaction at the currently agreed price prior to exchange of contracts.

Homebuyer Reports are provided either with or without a market valuation, but all include a rebuilding cost estimate for insurance purposes.

Building Surveys by Patterson Francis and Associates

Building Surveys

A building survey is a more comprehensive inspection of a property than a homebuyer report. It is particularly advisable for older buildings or buildings in poor repair.

The inspection includes the roof, externally and internally.

Walls and foundations are checked for settlement, structural movement or other defects.

Timber is checked for woodworm, wet rot and dry rot.

Damp levels are checked throughout the building.

Visual inspection of services is carried out but no tests are carried out.

The grounds are inspected and any local risks noted. A full environmental survey may be recommended.

A full assessment of defects together with cost estimates based on the BCIS Index can be provided on request.
