More than just a valuation

There is a very useful section towards the end of the report called ‘Issues for your legal advisors’ where all matters that require further investigation by your solicitor or conveyancer are summarised. The current owner has a duty to be honest when completing the property questionnaire, but statements that cannot be confirmed by independent verification should not be relied upon.

Potential legal queries that might be highlighted in a Homebuyer Repor,t include any ambiguity over the physical boundaries, ownership of outside space and rights of access, off-street parking, documentation relating to extensions (both to the subject property and adjoining properties) and alterations. As well as guarantees/warranties and proposed work to areas that could not be inspected, such as high-level roofs.

We are always happy to provide additional services beyond the scope of the standard package, such as a specification for future works, which may be helpful when sourcing a builder to undertake repairs.

You can get an idea of how useful our clients have found our survey reports to be by viewing some of their comments on our Trust Pilot reviews page.
