Buyers’ Guide – Survey

Make sure you have a survey – it could save you money in the long run by spotting any problems.

Top Tips for Survey

Once your offer is accepted, tell your mortgage lender.
They will complete a valuation to ensure the property is worth the money that they are lending.
Instruct a surveyor to carry out a survey.
This will highlight any problems with the property, and you can find out how much these will cost you to rectify.
Use the information to renegotiate the sale price.
Or tell the seller certain repairs need to be carried out before contracts are exchanged.
