Surveys
If you are considering purchasing a property, we highly recommend having a private survey carried out to ensure that you are fully informed of any structural and price considerations before entering into a binding contract. We offer two types of surveys, each tailored to suit your specific needs:
- Homebuyer Survey: This type of survey is suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition and provides a concise report on the condition of the property. Our homebuyer survey includes a market valuation and a reinstatement cost for building insurance purposes.
- Building Survey: This is a more detailed survey that provides a thorough investigation and a comprehensive report on the condition of the property. It is suitable for all types of residential properties, including older and listed buildings. Our building survey includes advice on repair and maintenance, as well as a market valuation.
Valuations
We can carry out valuations for a variety of purposes, including:
- Probate: We can provide an accurate valuation of the property for probate purposes.
- Matrimonial: We can provide an independent valuation for matrimonial and family law purposes.
- Shared Ownership: We can provide a valuation for shared ownership schemes.
- Taxation: We can provide valuations for taxation purposes, including Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax.
