Property Buying Support

What is a Property Survey?

A property survey is a detailed check of a home’s condition, done by a qualified surveyor. It helps buyers understand if there are any problems with the property — like damp, cracks, roof damage, or structural issues.

Types of Property Surveys

Choose the right survey for your needs.

🏠

Homebuyer Survey

Great for newer or well-kept homes. A practical option when you want reassurance about condition without a full structural report.

🏡

Building Survey (Full Structural Survey)

Ideal for older or larger homes that may need repairs. Best when you want a more detailed review of the property’s structure and risks.

Having a property survey can save you money by spotting issues early before you commit to buying.

When should you get a Property Survey done?

You should get a property survey after your offer is accepted but before you exchange contracts. This is the best time to spot serious issues and decide whether to continue, renegotiate, or request repairs.

Arranging the survey early gives you more time to assess the results and avoid expensive surprises later.

  • Understand the property's current condition.
  • Identify visible risks before you commit.
  • Use findings to support informed negotiations.
