Home Surveys

A home survey is required to gain an accurate value of the property that you are purchasing.

Some surveys will give you an accurate valuation of a properties market value, whilst others will simply ensure it is worth the price you have agreed to pay. In general most surveys will tell you about the condition of the property and will be insisted upon by your lender in order for you to get a mortgage.

Types of home survey

There are four types of surveys which you can choose. It is important that you choose the correct type of survey relevant for the type of property that you are purchasing.

Home condition report

A basic survey which does not include a valuation. This is popular if you are buying a modern property in good condition. This is the cheapest survey.

Home buyer report

This is a more thorough survey which looks at structural safety and also includes a valuation. Suitable for a modern house or a standard older property in good condition. This is more detailed, therefore it will be more expensive.

Building or structural survey

An extensive survey which produces a comprehensive report. This would be suitable for an older house, listed building or non-standard property. This does not include a valuation. This is the most costly.

New build snagging survey

A specialist survey for new homes. The developer would then be able to sort out any defects that were found.

Best customer experience I've had renting a property since moving up to the North East! Matthew was extremely helpful, always kept me and my partner updated during the entire process and was easy to get in touch with, quick response time to our queries too. Made our renting experience completely stress free and even provided us a lovely gift box on our move

I contacted Carousel and spoke to Matthew to rent a flat and experienced the best customer experience I've had in years.Nothing was too much trouble and unbelievably everything including references and checks were done in one week, exactly from one Saturday to the other I signed and had my keys! The whole experience was so good, I'd actually forgotten

Small but mighty - that’s how I would describe this company and boy were we lucky to find them. Highly recommend, their Customer Service is top notch. They helped us find a rental, when we lived 4000 miles away in USA and moved last summer in the midst of Covid. Liz was absolutely first class. Having met Jonny too who is spot on with the needs of renting it.

GOOD SERVICE, HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I completed my sale on Friday 23/10/2020 and without the massive efforts of Liz and Julie I would be still awaiting a date!. Julie went above and beyond to make sure the completion went through and kept me informed every step of the way. My stress levels were rising however, Julie reassured me and give detailed feedback re progress. My buyers were so impressed by Liz.
