3 Reasons Why You Need a Building Survey Before Buying a Property

When it comes to purchasing a property, it’s important to ensure that you’re fully aware of its condition and potential issues before making a significant financial commitment. That’s where a building survey comes in. Here are three reasons why you need a building survey before buying a property.

Identify potential problems

A building survey will provide you with a comprehensive report on the condition of the property, highlighting any potential problems that may require attention. This could include issues with the roof, damp or mould, subsidence, or structural problems. By identifying these issues early on, you can factor any necessary repairs or maintenance costs into your budget, and avoid unexpected expenses further down the line.

Negotiate on price

If the building survey identifies any significant issues, you may be able to use this information to negotiate on the price of the property. For example, if the survey reveals that the roof requires major repairs, you could use this to negotiate a lower purchase price to account for the cost of the repairs. This could potentially save you thousands of pounds, making a building survey a worthwhile investment.

Peace of mind

Buying a property is a significant investment, and it’s important to have peace of mind that you’re making the right decision. A building survey can help to provide this peace of mind, as it will give you a clear picture of the property’s condition and any potential issues. This will allow you to make an informed decision about whether the property is the right choice for you, and whether you’re prepared to take on any necessary repairs or maintenance work.
