Survey Design UK Why do you need a Survey? Remember your lenders valuation is for their purposes - not for yours - it only advises the lenders about the security of a loan. You should not legally rely upon it. Buying a property is likely to be your largest investment of your life and in the present market it is important to have professional advice so that you can reach an informed decision on your property purchase. Before you proceed with your purchase and are legally committed, you can minimise the risks by instructing Survey Design UK Ltd to answer these questions on your behalf. Is the price agreed reasonable, taking into account the property's condition? Are there defects that I need to be concerned about? Can I extend the property to give me the dream home I am looking for. What further advice do I need before making a decision?

Commissioning a survey is a simple and economical way to avoid unpleasant and costly surprises after moving in. Renegotiation of the purchase price following the advice in the report may easily cover the cost of the survey. Once your report is ready we ask that you come to one of our London offices to discuss the report in detail with the surveyor who carried out the inspection. We have found that this is the best way to work as not everyone can understand some of the technical terms included in building surveys. Why should you be expected to?

We find that many more of our home surveys result in a purchase because we take the time to explain every defect in detail and make suggestions on how it can be dealt with. All of our reports are extremely comprehensive and include colour photographs of any defects noted.

We offer a comprehensive design service for all planning and building regulations works and we enjoy coming up with a design with our client and seeing it through from planning to the end result.
