Homebuyers Reports And Buying A Property
When buying a property it is often worthwhile to get a Homebuyer’s Report from a Hull building surveyor . This type of report allows the buyer to make a judgement as to whether the price being quoted for the property is reasonable and if there are any defects which might be serious enough to have a detrimental effect on its value.
This kind of report was introduced by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 2009. The RCIS is the professional body of chartered surveyors, and also accredits them and sets their professional standards. So when seeking a Homebuyer’s Report it is advisable to use a chartered building surveyor as they have been trained to the highest standards. The RCIS also insists it members maintain high professional and ethical standards.
It is also important to note that when compiling a Homebuyer Report the surveyor always acts on behalf the prospective purchaser and never for the seller or mortgage lender
