Only about 1 in 5 of purchasers have any type of survey. This surprises us, as we have not surveyed a building to date that does not have a defect. Even in newer buildings our survey report is likely to highlight defects that can be used to renegotiate the purchase price.
We often get asked "why do I need a survey when the mortgage company is already doing one?" The main difference is that they are doing a valuation survey to ensure that the funds they lend you are secure. It is not a comprehensive survey and is undertaken only to protect their investment.
It is always advisable for you to have your own survey when buying a home so that you know precisely what you are buying, after all it is likely that this will be the biggest investment you will ever make. The Homebuyer survey involves inspection of the whole property, which includes:
| - Roof coverings | - Drainage |
| - Roof structure | - Internal walls, floors and partitions |
| - External walls | - Internal joinery |
| - Guttering | - Kitchen fittings |
| - Damp proof course | - Sanitary appliances |
| - Sub-floor ventilation | - General decorative condition |
| - Windows, doors & external joinery | |
Visible defects will be identified, such as the presence of dry-rot, rising damp, woodworm, defective roofing, cracks in the structure etc. The testing of services is not covered, but usually a report on its visible condition is given. If required the survey can incorporate testing of services at additional cost.
