Do I need a Survey?

When finding the perfect home, it’s easy to be seduced by the look and feel of a property before you understand its condition.

You may want to ensure the building is sound, or detect defects and determine the extent of any repairs required. That’s why it’s worth requesting a detailed report of probably the most important purchase you’ll ever make!

Choosing Right

GOTO Surveys will advise you on the most suitable survey for the property you are purchasing.

 There are typically two types of survey; a Home Survey Level 2 Report or a Home Survey Level 3 Report. They will look at the property online initially and advise you which report will be most suitable for you. They will then arrange for the surveyor to go to the property and undertake the appropriate survey.

Arrange Your Survey Now!

You can book your survey any day of the week from one of over 350 RICS Surveyors.

To arrange your Home Survey Level 2 Report or a Home Survey Level 3 Report simply click on “arrange your survey” below and complete our comprehensive surveys form.

Which Survey is right for me?

A Mortgage Valuation is a report undertaken on behalf of the lender. Therefore it is important for a more detailed report to be carried out which will inform you of the condition of the property.

There may be defects in the property that could cost you a lot of money to put right so it is important to have a Home Survey Level 2 Report or a Home Survey Level 3 Report.
