Pre-Purchase Survey

What is a pre-purchase survey?

A pre-purchase survey is a visual inspection of a residential property carried out by a qualified surveyor. It is also referred to as a 'Structural Survey', 'Building Inspection' or 'Home Survey' and is carried out on behalf of the potential purchaser of a property.

It is normally conducted prior to a property being purchased and at the 'Sale Agreed' stage. It offers peace of mind by identifying any significant defects or Building/Planning Regulation compliance issues which could be costly to remedy. 

If you are currently house hunting or sale agreed, feel free to get in touch to discuss a pre-purchase survey.
