Professional Land Surveyors in Swindon

Usually a market valuation is not included in a Building Survey as the report is tailored to an individual client's requirements and a market valuation may not always be relevant. A market valuation can be added to the report but this involves additional work and there would be an additional fee.

The term 'Structural Survey' has been superseded and surveys of this type are now normally referred to as a Building Survey. This will include a detailed examination of all accessible parts of the property and can be tailor-made to suit your individual needs and concerns.

When you buy a house and need a mortgage, a lender will commission a mortgage valuation. The valuation advises the lender of the value of a property and of any characteristics, including significant defects, which might affect its value as security for the proposed loan.

In order to sell a shared ownership lease or purchase an increased proportion of the property, you will need to obtain a market valuation which will involve a brief inspection of the property.

The Right to Buy Scheme allows council tenants to buy their council home at a discount. If you are trying to buy your property it is likely that a district valuer from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will visit your home and decide how much it's worth. This will be the basis of your offer to buy. In this situation, you do not need to a Chartered Surveyor to value the property. However, you may engage a Chartered Surveyor to assess the condition of a property and instead should commission independent survey advice.
