Should I get a survey now?
A recent YouGov survey found that 1 in 10 buyers spent over £10,000 remedying defects within their home after purchase, so you should always get a RICS Level 2 or 3 Home Survey, but don't do it yet.Your should line up a local surveyor with good experience and reviews, so that once contracts come in from the sellers you can then book an appointment. There's not point doing anything until you know your sellers are underway and the chain is complete.
We have a nationwide panel of over 100 RICS surveyors so we have a local surveyor who can help you as and when you need it. Why not run a quote and keep it ready for when it is time for you to book.
Buying a new build property? If you will be the first owner of a brand new property you'll only need a snagging survey.
