Thinking about buying a property without getting it inspected professionally first? Time to think again!
If you are a buying a property, many factors will contribute to your buying wish list. Along with location, number of bedrooms and outside space, you are also likely to be looking for a home with a 'good feel' about it. Needless to say, finding your ideal property is not always a simple task. As such, the last thing you want is to finally find your dream home, only to discover problems that are expensive and time consuming to fix when you move in. Obtaining an independent professional survey report from David Harting Surveyors before you commit to a purchase could help eradicate this possibility.
Many buyers choose to rely on their mortgage lender's valuation for an indication of property’s condition but this is an extremely risky strategy. A lender's valuation only provides a financial assessment of your chosen property's approximate value for loan purposes. It is not a comprehensive inspection and will not necessarily alert you to any faults in the property's condition. Employing the services of an experienced independent Chartered Surveyor will give you a more detailed report and help you to uncover any potential problems.
