Home Buyer Surveys & Valuations - also known as HSV, HBSV or Homebuyer / House Buyer Reports

   

Whether you are purchasing a small studio flat, or a more impressive mansion, it is absolutely imperative you obtain sound professional advice.

Although you may be paying, through your mortgage provider, for a Mortgage Valuation Report  it is prudent to arrange an independent survey. It should be clearly understood that a Mortgage Valuation, as carried out by your mortgage provider, is limited in it's scope of reference and will only identify problems that affect the security of the mortgage lenders loan. A property can have significant defects that are considered "deal breaking" by the prospective buyer, but are of no concern to the mortgage lender and as such will not be mentioned in the resulting Mortgage Valuation Report.

In most instances a Homebuyers Survey and Valuation will be more than adequate to ensure that YOU are in possession of all the material facts before exchanging on your purchase. The inexpensive report primarily concentrates on any major problems and other defects considered significant, or urgent, in nature.  As well as delivering the reassurance of an independent open market valuation, it draws attention to any points that should be investigated further, or discussed with your legal advisers.

A Homebuyers Survey is probably most appropriate for:
