PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

I got one done myself just for piece of mind when this cropped up, I very probably didn't need to, but didn't really know what I was doing so wanted everything to be right. Seller doesn't have to do it, it's up to you. It only cost £60, so for me was worth knowing everything was ok. You probably don't need one either as a new house, but if you want one your EA should be able to organise one, well mine did, but she was spot on, all I had to do was cough up the dosh.Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.0

OP is the buyer and so I would not suggest that they rely on a report from someone instructed by the seller's agent ... get an independent report if required.0
