Chartered Surveyor in Plymouth
A property purchase is one if not THE largest ever investment you’re ever likely to make. Before you commit yourself to a large mortgage or cash purchase, you must make sure it’s the right decision.
Finding a suitable property – or worse: falling in love with your dream home – is all very well but how do you make sure that it really is a good investment? Assuming you’re not a property expert or building professional yourself, how will you be able to tell whether the building is in good condition or whether you’re about to buy a pile of problems?
Many building defects and structural issues that may be present in a building may not be obvious to the untrained eye. But left undetected, issues such as subsidence, dry rot or rising dampness can have a significant impact on the value or suitability of the property at a later date.
An experienced surveyor can help you get satisfactory answers to a wide range of questions about the age, method of construction and condition of the building you’re about to invest your hard-earned money in.
