One of the biggest causes of delays and collapsed sales in the UK is down to surveys revealing issues which could have been spotted and resolved earlier. If there’s a physical issue with your property, now is the time to find out, not when you’re halfway through your sale.

Check Outside

Below are some of the main things a surveyor will be focusing on when they come round to do a survey. Making a few checks now can save alot of heartache later on. 

Check Inside

Mains Services

More often than not solicitors will want to have up to date certificates of safety or inspections before allowing their clients to proceed. Making a few checks now could save you a lot of headaches later on.

Even if you can't afford the repairs now, it's still well worth getting quotes done so can leave them out for a buyer to see. This shows them you are transparent and have been upfront and honest about any issues with your property. This will not only give the buyer more confidence, it will also help you to avoid fall throughs, delays and costly price re-negotiations later on.
