WHAT SORT OF SURVEY
SHOULD I HAVE?

If you’ve had an offer accepted on a Home Sweet Home
property, you’ll be wondering whether you
need a house survey and if so which one.
We look at different types of home surveys,
home survey costs and which type of survey
is right for your property, where to find a
good surveyor and - most importantly - how
to get the most out of your survey.
1

WHAT IS A SURVEY? 1

A property survey is a detailed inspection
of a property’s condition. The surveyor
inspects the property and tells you if there
are structural problems like unstable walls
or subsidence. They will highlight any major
repairs or alterations needed, such as fixing 1
the roof or chimney chute. The report
from the surveyor also provides expert
commentary on the property, from the type
of wall to the type of glazing.

IS IT AND HOW IS IT 3

DIFFERENT FROM A MORTGAGE
VALUATION?
33
A mortgage valuation is not a survey – it
is just a cursory look at a property to
assess how much the property is worth. 21
It is required by your mortgage lender to
ensure the property is sufficient security
for the loan. Your lender will insist on using 2

a company they trust and you will have to
pay for it. The cost of a mortgage valuation
varies depending on the size of the property
(from around £350). Some lenders throw
in free valuations as part of a mortgage deal; 3
but don’t let that sway you. A deal with a
lower interest rate is likely to save you far
more over time, even if you do have to pay a
bit more for the mortgage valuation.
