Building Surveys (Structural Surveys):

  • This is a detailed survey suitable for large, very old or unusual properties.

  • Defects are identified and advice given as to the method of repair.
  • In addition, our Chartered Surveyors can give advice on proposed alterations and improvements.
  • A property valuation is included, together with an insurance reinstatement figure.

FAQ Answered

Who needs a Survey?

  • Most people purchasing a home or commercial property will need a survey.
  • Surveys can also provide historical property valuations for tax and legal purposes.

My mortgage lender is carrying out a survey so why do I need another one?

  • Most mortgage lenders carry out only a basic property valuation, whereas
  • A RICS Home Buyer Survey and Valuation is much more in depth and more likely to reveal defects in the property you are buying.
  • A number of mortgage lenders do not require any inspection of the property you intend to buy.
  • In such cases it is essential to have your own valuation / survey done.

What will my survey or valuation cost?

  • A simple professional valuation of a small property might be as little as £175.
  • A Building Survey on a substantial property may cost over £1,000.
  • But you get real value for money by uncovering previously unknown defects in the property, plus peace of mind that there will be no nasty surprises.

Why use a Chartered Surveyor at Complete?

  • We have a team of qualified RICS, Chartered Surveyors who work in the Hampshire area on a daily basis.
  • Their technical and local property knowledge is considerable, as they work closely with our Estate Agency, Lettings & Independent mortgage businesses.
