Many buildings old or new have some defects, and require repairs and replacements from time to time, to keep them in satisfactory condition.

This style of report is a valuation and not a survey. It is a property inspection undertaken to provide an opinion on the current open market value of the property and is an equivalent to a report provided for financial institutions including building societies and banks for loan security purposes.

The principle benefit to this type of report is that it confirms the purchase price is reasonable and identifies any obvious defects, which may affect valuation.

This type of valuation can be used for a variety of purposes including lending; probate valuations; matrimonial settlement valuations; taxation and relocation.

The extent of the inspection is limited when compared to a survey and if you wish to commission a joint valuation and a more detailed report, you should, in the first instance, contact your preferred lender. If, however, you have already had a valuation carried out but now require a survey to report upon condition, you can come directly to us.
