Property valuation is influenced by various factors, including location, property size, condition, and recent sales of comparable properties in the area. South West Property Surveys takes all these elements into account to provide an accurate appraisal.


The type of survey you need depends on the property: 

• Level 1: The simplest survey, also referred to as a Condition Report. The property's state is indicated via a traffic light system.

 • Level 2: Also referred to as a HomeBuyer Report, this examination is appropriate for typical homes in decent shape. For example it could involve a more thorough examination of the drainage chamber and roof space. 

• Level 3: The most thorough survey, also referred to as a building survey. It works well for big, dilapidated, or old properties as well as odd or modified structures. It offers guidance on flaws, fixes, and upkeep possibilities. 



Significant roof damage, widespread rot and moisture, or serious structural problems are warning signs that may make you rethink your purchase.

Our Services

What we do

 

We provide property inspections to assist buyers and sellers in making well-informed decisions...  


 A Level 1 Condition Survey gives a brief summary of the state of the property. It does not offer a market value or maintenance or repair suggestions, but it does point out any significant dangers and legal concerns.

A Level 2 HomeBuyer Survey is shorter than a Building Survey but more thorough and extensive than a mortgage valuation or Condition Report. The majority of properties can use it.

Level 3 Complete Building Inspection
This more thorough evaluation, sometimes referred to as a "Full Structural" survey, is done on older or troublesome properties.  


What are the possible benefits?

 Highlight the problems
Any possible difficulties with the property, such structural faults, shaky walls, or subsidence, will be found by a surveyor.

Make repair recommendations
Any significant repairs or changes that are required will be recommended by the surveyor.

Comment with expertise.
Expert commentary on the property, including the type of wall and glazing, will be included in the surveyor's report.

Assist in renegotiating
The report might assist the buyer in renegotiating the purchase price if the surveyor finds serious flaws.

Provide peace of mind
Everyone concerned can feel more at ease and prevent any unpleasant surprises with a property survey.  

Why have a home survey?

 A home survey offers a professional assessment of the property's condition and highlights any problems in a clear and easy-to-understand way.

  Before you buy your house, you should learn as much as you can about it because it's probably one of your most costly purchases.
