PrePurchase Survey

Pre Purchase surveys (homebuyers survey) are normally carried out before a final decision is made on whether or not to purchase a property.
This report serves two main survey roles

• Confirming all visible building defects on accessible surfaces or under the surfaces if identifiable
• Serving to alert homebuyers for potential hidden defects which may be present
• A pre purchase survey or homebuyers survey is advisable on both new build and second hand properties to ensure a home inspection provides prospective buyers with a schedule of issues recorded. Costs attributable for required maintenance or remedial works required to rectify any issue found with a given structure or serious structural defects that can rule a property 'unfit for purpose' are known in advance prior to completion of a sale.
