House Surveys 101: What You Need to Know
As a property surveying experts in the UK, we’ve seen firsthand how vital a house survey can be when buying a home. It’s like having a professional buddy who checks the property’s condition for you, ensuring you make the best decision. At Blaker Collins, we offer two main types of house surveys – the RICS Level 2 Survey and the RICS Level 3 Survey.
The Level 2 Survey is perfect for modern homes in good shape. The Level 3 Survey, is recommended for older, more complex properties, or if you have big renovation plans.
Both survey types are designed to help you understand the property’s condition, potential repair costs, and any issues that may affect its value. So, take a moment to explore your options and pick the survey that suits your needs.
The Perks of a House Survey
A house survey can feel like a warm hug for potential homebuyers, offering benefits such as:
– Discovering issues that might lead to costly repairs.
– Helping you haggle for a better price based on the survey findings.
– Giving you peace of mind as you make an informed choice.
We’ve seen clients save thousands of pounds and sleep better at night, knowing they made the right decision. One of our satisfied clients, Michael Bentley, said on Trust Pilot, “Things have certainly progressed since we last moved house almost 19 years ago, and the homebuyer report and valuation were extremely worthwhile.”
The Bumps in the Road: Risks of Skipping Surveys
Skipping a house survey can be like driving blindfolded, leading to:
• Surprise repair costs after the purchase.
• Trouble selling the property later due to unresolved issues.
• Overpaying for a property with hidden defects.
In our experience, we’ve seen clients face significant challenges when they’ve opted to skip a house survey. One of our clients, Michael Mannion, shared his experience on Trust Pilot: “Sophie’s advice and numerous pictures of damage to the roof, walls, and position of sewers, etc., prevented us from purchasing a very unsuitable house.”
