If you are buying a property in Hereford, a survey can help you understand the condition of the building before you commit to the purchase.
Severn Surveyors Ltd is an independent RICS regulated firm providing Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys across Hereford and surrounding areas, with clear reporting, practical advice and fixed fees.
A mortgage valuation is carried out for the lender and is not a full condition survey. A home survey is designed to identify visible defects, repair risks and maintenance issues that could affect your decision to proceed or the price you are willing to pay.
This is particularly helpful where a property appears well presented during a viewing but may still have underlying issues such as roof defects, dampness, movement, outdated services or poor quality alterations.
The most suitable survey depends on the age, type and apparent condition of the property.
Guidance can be provided before booking if you are unsure which survey level is likely to be most appropriate.
The aim is to help buyers make a more informed decision before exchange of contracts.
Surveys are carried out across Hereford and surrounding areas, including a range of modern, period and altered properties. Local knowledge can be helpful when assessing common defects affecting housing stock in and around the city.
Severn Surveyors provides both Level 2 and Level 3 surveys depending on the property. Level 2 is often suitable for more conventional properties in reasonable condition. Level 3 is usually more appropriate for older buildings, properties that have been altered or extended, or those where you want a more detailed assessment before purchase.
Drone roof inspections are included where suitable and weather permitting. This can help improve visibility of roof coverings, chimneys and other high level areas that are difficult to assess properly from ground level alone.
