Surveys
Buying a property is likely to be one of the largest investments you will make. It has been widely reported that for house purchases the average cost of unexpected repairs was £5,750 with almost a fifth incurring costs of over £12,000 to make the property habitable. If considering buying any property, or taking a lease on commercial premises, an independent, professional survey is essential.
A professional, independent, survey can give peace of mind, provide an opportunity to renegotiate, help plan for future repairs and maintenance or even help you avoid a costly mistake.
