Surveyors in Torquay
Purchasing a property may well be the single largest financial transaction you are ever likely to make, which is why it is so important that you get it right. There are many issues to consider, including whether the house you are thinking of buying may be modern or if it may be an older style or period building. Properties can have different forms of construction, and all sorts of building defects may be present, though not necessarily obvious to the layman or always visible to the naked eye.
Structural problems with a particular property can be the result of poor workmanship or maintenance or maybe the consequence of an undiagnosed design fault. Issues such as subsidence, rising dampness and timber decay can strike fear into many property owners’ hearts.
This is where a professional surveyor’s report can be invaluable. The best way to reach an informed decision on whether to proceed with an investment of this scale is to take professional advice and commission a professional property survey prior to purchase. A survey will provide you with a robust tool for negotiations with the vendor before you sign on the dotted line while avoiding unpleasant and often costly surprises once you have moved in.
