Housepurchase is the largest single investment
most of us make in our life time and to
consider such a purchase without the benefit
of professional advice from an independant
company such as
Ascot Surveyors Limited
would seem, to say the least, imprudent.
Yet that is exactly what the majority of home
buyers tend to do. Most house purchasers
still rely on the Valuation Report prepared by
their mortgage lender, although that report is
primarily for the lenders own purposes and is
based purely on financial grounds and not on
any structural basis.
A detailed survey such as Homebuyer Survey
and Valuation or the more in-depth Building
Structural Survey should be considered as
a bare minimum irrespective of the age or
condition of the property.
These surveys are aimed at identifying defects
which require repair in order to prevent
further deterioration and possible associated
damage.
The survey will also draw attention to defects
which can have
a significant affect on value and can form
the basis for further negotiation on the
purchase price. Often, the cost of the survey
is only a fraction of the saving made through
renegotiation.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
Homebuyer Survey and Valuation is suited
to most residential property. Obviously the
cost of a survey will vary depending on the
purchase price and type of property, as well as
the type of survey required.
They are an experienced independent
surveyor with a wealth of knowledge and
experience in survey and valuation work in
Newton Abbot and adjacent areas.
They are used to working with major
mortgage lenders and are well known to local
Estate Agents and Solicitors. The business is
approachable and friendly and will advise on
which survey or valuation in their opinion, is
most suited to your needs.
Following the inspection, they will discuss their
findings with you and advise you on the best
course of action.
When you are about to make such a large
investment in your new property, it makes
common sense to carry out a survey and
ensure real peace of mind. Ascot Surveyors
Limited are ready, willing and very able to help
you achieve this.
