Why you need a home property survey
In the UK, nearly 42% of homeowners face unexpected repairs within the first year of moving in.
On average, people end up spending around £5,000 on fixing issues within those first 12 months. If you’re not prepared for this expense, it can significantly impact your finances.
And then there are those stories we hear all too often: buyers who save for years to purchase their dream home, only to find that dream quickly becomes a nightmare after the purchase is completed.
As specialists in property surveys, we’ve seen firsthand what often goes wrong: many buyers rely solely on the lender’s valuation to flag potential issues and don’t seek out an independent survey from a solicitor or chartered surveyor.
So, let’s get straight to the point—the "not-so-great eight": common issues a thorough house survey can uncover!
-
Damp
-
Roof Problems
-
Subsidence
-
Dry Rot
-
Woodworm Infestation
-
Faulty Central Heating
-
Defective Electrical Wiring
-
Asbestos
It’s crucial to remember that a valuation is not the same as a survey. A valuation is carried out for the lender's benefit to assess the property’s value—it doesn't address the condition of the home from a buyer's perspective.

So what is the mortgage valuation, and why do you need one
