Guide to moving home
Passionate about property
House purchase is the largest single investment most of us make in
our life time and to consider such a purchase without the benefit
of professional advice from a company such as
Pound & Co
would
seem, to say the least, imprudent.
Yet that is exactly what the majority of home buyers tend to do.
Most house purchasers still rely on the Valuation Report prepared
by their mortgage lender, although that report is primarily for the
lenders own purposes and is based purely on financial grounds and
not on any structural basis.
A detailed survey such as HomeSurvey or the more in-depth Building
Survey should be considered as a bare minimum irrespective of the
age or condition of the property.
These surveys are aimed at identifying defects which require repair
in order to prevent further deterioration and possible associated
damage.
The survey will also draw attention to defects which can have
a significant affect on value and can form the basis for further
negotiation on the purchase price. Often, the cost of the survey is
only a fraction of the saving made through renegotiation.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Building Survey is suited
to most residential property. Obviously the cost of a survey will vary
depending on the purchase price and type of property, as well as
the type of survey required.
Pound & Co are experienced independent surveyors with a wealth of
knowledge and experience in survey and valuation work in Cornwall
and adjacent areas.
They are used to working with purchasers and are well known to
local Estate Agents and Solicitors. They are approachable and
friendly and are very willing to discuss which survey or valuation in
their opinion, is most suited to your needs.
Following the inspection, they will discuss their findings with you and
advise you on the best course of action.
When you are about to make such a large investment in your new
property, it makes sense to carry out a survey and ensure real peace
of mind. Pound & Co are ready, willing and very able to help you
achieve this.
