When you apply for a mortgage, your lender may ask for the expert advice of an RICS Valuer to help them decide whether the property you are buying is worth the money they are lending to you.
At SDL, we inspect properties on behalf of a range of national lending organisations for this purpose. For more information on our mortgage valuations click here.
A mortgage valuation is not detailed enough to inform you about the condition of the property you are purchasing.
We recommend that you should always commission your own independent home survey. This type of survey will help you to understand the property’s state of repair and budget for any needed repair work.
A mortgage valuation is not a survey and is for the lender’s purposes only. A valuation report won’t point out structural problems that you may have to pay to fix further down the line.
Home surveys go into detail about the condition of a property, lists its defects, and tells you how to fix them. The level of detail is dependent on the type of property survey that you choose.
