Valuation Advice from the Professionals Before you buy a property you need to be sure that you’re buying something that is structurally sound – something that won’t turn into a nightmare or a construction site the day you move in. Even if you’re considering buying a property that needs extensive renovation, it’s vital that you choose the right survey to provide you with maximum protection and minimise the risk of any nasty shocks.
You can minimise the risk by asking a qualified surveyor to answer the following questions:
1. Is the agreed price reasonable? 2. Are there any drawbacks that I don’t know about? 3. If so, what do I need to do about them?
Commissioning your own survey is a simple and economical way to avoid nasty surprises later on. In some cases a surveyor may be able to help you renegotiate the purchase price. Both the Consumer Association ‘Which’ and the Council of Mortgage Lenders advise you to make your own survey/valuation in addition to any mortgage valuation undertaken on behalf of your mortgage provider.
