Quick answers to the most common questions about DSRS surveys, valuations, reports and timescales.
We currently specialise in Level 2 Surveys/HomeBuyer Reports which assess property condition and can include a valuation. We also provide Independent RICS Valuations which confirm current market value. Examples include Help to Buy, shared ownership and probate valuations.
Buying a property is usually the largest financial commitment a person will make in their lifetime, often on a couple of viewings! A property survey helps identify any structural issues, defects, or potential risks before you commit to a purchase.\n\nIt provides you with a clearer understanding of the property's condition and can help you avoid unexpected costs and highlight any potential works required. It will also include an independent valuation of the property's price.\n\nIn short, it's an essential step for making an informed and secure property investment.\n\nFind out further information about surveys here.
