What survey and report best suits your requirements and purpose?

Purchasing your home is likely to be the largest financial commitment that you will make so it makes sense to ensure that any potential problems are identified before buying.
Harwoods can provide a comprehensive range of surveys and reports, all undertaken by a Chartered Surveyor with the benefit of SAVA accreditation.

Valuation Report

A very limited report which should not be used solely for deciding whether or not to purchase.
A limited inspection as required by lending institutions. It will not report in any detail on items of repair unless they are considered so severe as to affect the value and saleability. This type of valuation can be used for a variety of purposes including lending, probate, part exchange, relocation, matrimonial settlement, taxation etc.

Homebuyer Report

A report which is suitable for the majority of properties with the possible exception of those which are very large, old or of unusual construction.
A much more detailed report designed to be “user friendly” and will provide a clear and concise picture as to the condition and value of the property. Matters of concern will be identified, together with any issues that should be investigated or acted upon before legal commitment to purchase. Also matters with probable legal implication will be identified for further investigation by your legal advisors.
