When buying a home you should seriously consider arranging an RICS Home Survey (Survey and Valuation) of the property to ensure that you are buying with greater knowledge and confidence. At Pygott & Crone we employ RICS registered surveyors, regulated and trained to the highest possible standards. We carry out Home Surveys on properties throughout Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and parts of Derbyshire and Yorkshire.
Buying a property may be your most important and expensive investment. So it’s wise to obtain a professional survey before committing to purchase to reduce the risk of nasty surprises, and to allow you to make an informed decision.
Choose an RICS chartered surveyor to inspect the property and you will receive an in-depth report highlighting any issues in an accessible format. This survey is for your benefit and should not be confused with the valuation report that your mortgage lender will arrange.
Contact Pygott & Crone to arrange an RICS Home Survey for peace of mind.
If Pygott & Crone introduce the services of an external provider they receive a referral commission of £100 + VAT.
As experienced surveyors we can help you choose which survey to go for, depending upon the type of property that you are purchasing. All RICS Home Surveys feature a straightforward traffic light indication system to help you understand the Report.
The RICS Home Survey, a popular choice, is recommended for homes that have been lived in previously and possibly are in need of some attention, whilst being of a fairly standard construction. Commissioning a Home Survey will enable you to make a more enlightened decision on whether to continue with the purchase, inform you of repairs that ought to be carried out, and give you further advice on how to proceed.
Whether you are relocating locally or further afield we can provide expert advice on the condition of your new home.
Our local experts can provide a survey on any property in the areas shown above, and if the property is in another part of the UK we can help too. Through our associated network of over 150 RICS surveyors providing nationwide coverage we will put you in touch with a trusted surveyor in your area.
The benefits include a prompt, personal service from a surveyor who has local knowledge and who acts only in your best interests. They will help you understand the condition of the property and will be only too happy to answer any questions you may have; giving you peace of mind and keeping you in control.
Our survey fees are competitive so why not get in touch with our team today to discuss your survey requirements.
