Surveys

Vendor Home Survey

A Vendor Survey is an independent property survey carried out by a chartered surveyor in the early stages of the moving process, typically before the property is listed or as the seller begins to prepare for the sale. This survey thoroughly assesses the property’s condition, identifying any potential issues or defects that could affect its value, desirability, or the overall sale process.
For vendors, completing a survey early helps avoid delays and unexpected negotiations later in the process. By addressing any hidden issues before they become problems, the seller can make necessary repairs, improve the property’s appeal, and ensure a smoother transaction. It also provides transparency about the property’s condition, allowing the seller to be upfront with buyers, fostering trust and reducing the risk of complications.

A Vendor Survey also enables sellers to set a realistic asking price, based on the property’s true condition, and can ultimately expedite the sale. With a clear understanding of any necessary repairs or concerns, the seller can approach the sale with confidence, leading to a faster and more efficient process.
