Do I need an independent Survey?
It is often said that a property purchase is the largest single financial commitment you will make in your lifetime.
It therefore makes sense to establish whether the property is affected by defects or other issues that might justify renegotiation of the purchase price – or that might otherwise come as an unpleasant surprise later.

The Mortgage Valuation
If you are buying a home with the assistance of a mortgage, the lender will probably commission a valuation report, to confirm whether the property provides acceptable security for the loan. Although it is often paid for by the purchaser, the valuation is intended solely to satisfy the requirements of the lender. You should not rely on its contents, when deciding whether or not to proceed with the purchase, as it will not necessarily identify defects.
Before exchanging contracts, you should therefore seek specialist advice from a Chartered Surveyor.
So what are the Options?
Chartered Surveyors are able to offer two levels of survey report, to help you decide whether or not you should proceed. The first of these is known as a Level 3 Building Survey (formerly known as a “Full Structural Survey”) and the second is a Level 2 Intermediate Survey, such as The ISVA HomeSurvey; which is available exclusively from members of the Independent Surveyors’ and Valuers Association. Other types of intermediate survey are available.
