Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a home survey?

A home survey is conducted to provide a detailed evaluation of a property’s condition, highlighting any issues or defects that may need attention before purchase.

How does a home survey benefit buyers?

A survey offers buyers peace of mind by revealing hidden problems, such as structural weaknesses or damp, and helps them make informed decisions about the property.

Are home surveys only for old properties?

No, home surveys are beneficial for properties of all ages, including new builds, as they can uncover construction defects or incomplete work.

What is the difference between a HomeBuyer Report and a Building Survey?

A HomeBuyer Report (Level 2) provides a concise overview of a property’s condition, while a Building Survey (Level 3) is a more detailed inspection suitable for older or larger properties.

When should I arrange for a home survey?

A home survey should be arranged after your offer is accepted but before exchanging contracts, giving you time to address any concerns.

How do I choose the right type of survey for my property?

The choice depends on the property’s age, size, and condition. A professional surveyor can advise you on the most suitable survey type.

How detailed is a Building Survey compared to other types?

A Building Survey is the most comprehensive, offering an in-depth analysis of the property’s structure, condition, and potential issues, along with repair recommendations.

What are the common issues found during a home survey?

Common issues include damp, roof damage, faulty wiring, structural cracks, and signs of subsidence, though findings vary depending on the property.

Does a survey guarantee there will be no future problems?

A survey provides a snapshot of the property’s condition at the time of inspection but cannot predict future problems that may arise.

Can a home survey help me negotiate the purchase price?

Yes, if the survey uncovers significant issues, you can use the findings to renegotiate the price or request repairs before completion.
