The Importance of a Survey

It is normally a requirement to have a Mortgage Valuation when making an offer on a property, however it is commonly misconstrued that the Mortgage Valuation provides information as to the condition of the property in question. In reality a Mortgage Valuation serves only as a brief report designed to show that the property in question provides enough financial security for the bank to safely lend upon. It is conducted purely for the benefit of the lender and as such the buyer may never even see the Mortgage Valuation.

A Comprehensive Building Survey provided by Gowers Surveyors consists of a thoroughly detailed analysis of the property in its entirety, including the foundations, construction and overall structure of the property. The survey also looks at roofing, wiring, plumbing, potential damp spots and all visible and accessible elements of the property. The survey will highlight any immediate or problematic defects present within the property, providing advice on how these defects may be amended. Some reports will also provide detailed photographs and an approximation of the costs needed to conduct these reparations.

Purchasing a property of any type is often considered to be one of the most important investments we can make in our lifetime. Therefore a professional surveyor will always recommend a more in depth report is conducted, so as to avoid any nasty surprises later on in the purchase, where reparations and renovations are needed.

Surveying FAQs

Why do I need a survey?

For most of us, houses are complicated and expensive things to buy. There are lots of different elements to take into account, and if things go wrong it can cost thousands to put them right. Purchasing a property may well be the biggest investment you ever make. That’s why it’s so important that, before you buy, you need to know exactly what you are taking on.

A professional survey carried out by a firm of Chartered Surveyors will tell you whether there are any issues with the building that need attention and whether you are paying the right price.

Doesn’t the mortgage company sort out a survey?

As any responsible lender will tell you, a Mortgage Valuation is not a survey. Instead, it is a brief inspection of the property to tell the lender whether it is safe to approve the mortgage. Even if problems are detected with the building, they won’t necessarily be mentioned if they don’t affect the security of the investment. For your own peace of mind, every house purchase should be accompanied by a proper survey carried out by an experienced firm of Chartered Surveyors.
