VALUATION REPORT                                                                     

The simplest type of property inspection. Unlike estate agents' valuations, surveyors' valuation reports are legally binding, and valid for matrimonial and tax purposes.  We can also undertake mortgage valuations for all main lenders in partnership with E.surv Surveyors. But with mortgage valuations, banks and building societies dictate their own fees.

The inspection is relatively limited and will only comment on any obvious major defects that have a significant bearing on value.  Valuations are carried out by qualified MRICS or FRICS chartered surveyors. The reports are normally 2 or 3 pages in length, and include a professionally calculated BCIS rebuild cost insurance valuation. Valuations are normally calculated with reference to at least 3 recent local sales of comparable properties.

MORTGAGE VALUATIONS

To arrange mortgage valuations, your bank or building society will first need to be contacted.

Lenders set their own fees for mortgage valuations, but we can carry them out as approved panel surveyors (in partnership with a leading national firm of Surveyors).

If you require a Homebuyers or Building Survey, it will cost you less if it's booked direct via ourselves, as banks tend to take a large share of the survey fee. The survey can often be done at the same time as the mortgage valuation inspection, or alternatively as a separate visit.
