When you apply for a mortgage, your lender may ask for the expert advice of a 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.
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. A 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.
