Buying a house will be one of the largest financial commitments you will ever make. If you need a mortgage to buy your new home, then your mortgage lender will normally require a valuation to be carried out. This is NOT a survey, but an assessment of the security of the property for loan purposes for the BENEFIT OF THE LENDER. It answers only the lender's questions concerning the appropriate security for your loan, and not your own questions regarding your personal interest in the property.

If you want a good understanding of the condition and value of your potential new property, as Estate Agents we therefore recommend that you should seriously consider having a RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation Report or a Building Survey carried out. It is important that your choice of Surveyor is carefully made so that you can receive professional and friendly advice. This is why we strongly recommend you speak to Tyser Greenwood Surveyors.

A survey carried out by one of their highly qualified Chartered Surveyors will provide you with the advice you need to make an informed decision about your prospective new property prior to you committing to the purchase.

The type of survey you need will depend upon the nature of the property, as well as your own requirements. The two most commonly used surveys are:

The RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation Report (RICS HSV). This is ideal for conventional residential properties, including apartments, which appear to be in reasonable condition, but is not recommended for properties requiring extensive renovation. This type of report will enable you to:

• Ascertain if the purchase price is reasonable and obtain useful information on any repairs required
• Obtain guidance about what decisions and actions need to be considered before contracts are exchanged

The Building Survey (formerly known to many as a Structural Survey). This is a better option if you are considering purchasing a property that is "listed", is of unconventional construction, or in need of renovation. This report will provide you with:

• A more detailed assessment of the various elements of the property and their condition
• More in depth advice on the issues uncovered and remedial works required

Tyser Greenwood Surveyors also offer a wide range of other property valuation and survey products, including Matrimonial/Partnership Dispute valuations; Probate/Inheritance Tax Act valuations, as well as dealing with Litigation/Expert Witness cases.
