The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is non-intrusive and is highly recommended if you are looking at buying a property in Congleton.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
Confusion can arise regarding mortgage valuations and HomeBuyers Surveys. The unfortunate result is that property buyers can sometimes find themselves having to spend a great deal of money repairing faults and defects which might well have - and ideally would have - formed part of the bargaining process with the vendor when negotiations were taking place.
Lenders appoint surveyors to carry out valuations to estimate market values of properties but the survey has no concern with investigating structural defects.
A HomeBuyers Survey notes and reports on defects and has a full appraisal and valuation of a property, which, most importantly, is completely independent of the mortgage lender. You can use this information to get quotes for how much it would cost to fix any defects detected in your property in Congleton.
More importantly, the survey can provide evidence which you can use to bargain with the seller about sharing repair costs. Book your HomeBuyers Survey for your property in Congleton by calling 0333 344 3234 and get yourself some well-earned peace of mind.

Does your property look like this?
Run down properties, or ones in need of renovation require a Level 3: Building Survey as the Level 2: HomeBuyer Report does provide the depth of information about defects.
RICS states that the HomeBuyer Report "is specifically designed for lay clients who are seeking a professional opinion at an economic price.
It is, therefore, necessarily less comprehensive than a level 3 building survey.
The focus of the service is on assessing the general condition of the main elements of a property, and identifying and evaluating the particular features that affect its present value and may affect its future resale.
The inspection is not exhaustive, and no tests are undertaken".
