If you’re considering purchasing a new property, at Watsons we always recommend commissioning your own independent home survey, which will provide you with a clear understanding of the property’s condition. By having a home survey completed, you’re essentially avoiding any additional costs, stress and hassle further down the line, as the survey can help you avoid surprise additional costs for repairs.
This type of survey is generally more suitable for smaller or more modern properties. It specifically provides advice on what action should be taken prior to the purchaser entering a commitment to proceed, as well as advice on repairs and ongoing maintenance requirements.
This is the most comprehensive report from the RICS of its kind, and should be used for larger or older properties, or when planning major works. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the property’s condition and includes advice on defects, repairs and maintenance options.
If you’re dealing with a particularly large or older building, a property of non-traditional construction or if you’re planning major works, choosing a building survey with Watsons is wise. It is a comprehensive inspection and can be tailored to your needs.
If you have used the Help to Buy scheme and are now in a position to sell your home, remortgage, or start repaying your loan, then you need to get an RICS regulated valuation. We follow the exact requirements and inspect both the inside and outside of the property.
