Surveys of properties in Ilford
Our team of experienced surveyors offer RICS Level 2 and Level 3 Surveys. A valuation, costings for repair works, reinstatement costs (for insurance purposes) or a feasibility study in the report relating to your Ilford property if required.
Offers on properties are made subject to survey, and it’s considered reasonable for a buyer to renegotiate if an issue is highlighted that they could not have been expected to be aware of when the sale was agreed. Including costings in the report allows you to commence that renegotiation without the hassle of having to arrange builders’ estimates.
Valuations can only be prepared by a surveyor who is also an RICS Registered Valuer. The quality assurance programme ensures that valuations provided always meet the highest valuation standards and are widely recognised as such. Requesting a valuation is particularly important if a valuer will not be visiting the property on behalf of your lender.
