Vendor and Pre-Sale Property Survey

Identify potential problems before placing your property on the market

A Vendor Survey, sometimes called a pre-sale survey, provides an independent assessment of your property before it is marketed for sale.

It can identify defects that may otherwise be raised by your purchaser’s surveyor later in the transaction, giving you time to obtain quotations, arrange appropriate repairs or prepare supporting information.

How can a Vendor Survey help?

Unexpected survey findings can lead to delays, further negotiations or a purchaser withdrawing from the transaction. Obtaining advice at an earlier stage can help you:

• Understand the present condition of the property
• Identify matters likely to concern a purchaser
• Prioritise worthwhile repairs before marketing
• Avoid unnecessary or inappropriate remedial work
• Obtain relevant certificates and documentation
• Prepare realistic responses to subsequent enquiries
• Reduce the risk of late price renegotiation

Independent and practical advice

The report distinguishes between significant defects, routine maintenance and matters that are unlikely to justify major concern.

Where repairs are recommended, the likely cause, appropriate remedial action and suitable contractor are identified. Indicative cost guidance can also be provided where reasonably possible.

The purpose is not to present the property as defect-free, but to help you enter the sale with a clearer understanding of its condition and any issues that may affect the transaction.
