A pre-purchase survey from My House Survey Ltd is an essential tool for anyone considering buying a property. Our experienced team of qualified engineers and surveyors will conduct a thorough inspection of the property, using the latest technology and techniques to identify any potential defects or issues.

A pre-purchase survey, also known as a structural survey, Type 2 survey or homebuyer's report, is a detailed inspection of a property that's conducted before the final purchase is made. The purpose of a pre-purchase survey is to identify any potential defects or issues that may affect the property's value or its suitability for the buyer's needs. Hence, it is about enabling informed decision making.

A pre-purchase survey typically includes a visual inspection of the property, as well as a review of any available plans and documents. Our surveyor/engineer may also use equipment to supplement any diagnostic work as required. Equipment such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras are commonly used to detect hidden defects or issues.

After the survey is completed, the engineer/surveyor will provide the buyer with a detailed report that outlines any issues that were identified, along with recommendations for further action. This report can be used by the buyer to negotiate the purchase price or to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase.

Don't take any unnecessary risks with your property investment.
