That's about it. It will depend on what sort of survey the buyers are having done. The more they are paying the more he is likely to look at.:cool:
Just let him get on with it and answer any questions he asks truthfully.0 -
As stated above, depends on the survey being done. Mainly a survey is done to provide the buyer and/or their mortgage company with some reasurrance i.e. is it worth it, is it valued correctly, will they get their money back if they have to reposes. It'll also throw up any issues for the buyer and yourself i.e. any work that may need doing to make it fit for purpose. If it does throw something like this up you may have to get this done or the buyer may negotiate the cost of the work off their orginal asking price.0

wow, thats fast...we accepted an offer a week ago and haven't found out when the buyers surveryor will be round!!!
We've just accepted too (you posted a well done note on my thread this morning!). Not sure when the survey will be done on our place yet as it's early days, but it's a new build so fingers crossed that it'll be pretty straightforward.0 -

Ours is a new build too, so I'm sure there won't be any problems. I'm just anxious to get the ball rolling!0 -

Yeah I know. All the advice led me to believe that December would result in no offers, so the fact that quite a few people are accepting offers seems to buck this trend. Guess you can sell at anytime. We're going from a new build to a new build, but our new new build (if you know what I mean!) is on a plot of land in the middle of a village so quite unique in that respect. We also need to get a survey sorted on the new place, so will get cracking with the soon.0 -
We also need to get a survey done on the house that we are buying.
Any advice on what type of survey is required and how much, also were do you aquire a surveyor to do this for you .:rolleyes:0 -
Are you getting a mortgage for your new place? If so, your mortgage company will process this for you. Various levels of survey, depends how much peace of mind you want.0

P.S. re costs Valuation Survey only will cost £100 - £250, Homebuyer Survey and valuation £250 - £1000, Building Survey £500 - £1500.0
