Surveyor in Paignton
A property purchase is a huge decision; it may well be the largest financial transaction you will ever make and your home could be the biggest asset you will ever own. That’s why it is so important to get it just right.
Once you identify a suitable property, you need to make sure it’s worth investing in. There’s a host of important questions regarding the age, condition and method of construction of the building you are thinking of buying that must be answered to your satisfaction.
To the layman, existing building defects or structural problems may not be obvious to the untrained eye. However, issues such as rising dampness, dry rot or subsidence, to mention a few, can seriously impact the value of your home or its suitability as an investment vehicle. Armed with accurate information, you can then decide whether the property is likely to achieve a good return, and either proceed with or withdraw from the transaction.
Working with a reliable building surveyor in Paignton will go a long way towards helping you identify any building issues. The best way to obtain the salient information to inform your decision-making is to take professional advice and commission a property survey.
Not only will a survey ensure that there are no nasty surprises once you’ve bought the property, but it can also act as a useful negotiating tool for adjusting the price at the point of purchase.
