What happens during the survey?
The surveyor will be looking at things like doors, windows, roofs, and kitchens to assess their age and condition and to make sure your home is free from hazards to ensure your safety and well-being. This will take up to an hour depending on the size of your property. The surveyor will need access to all rooms in your property. Don’t worry you won’t need to move any furniture, the surveys will be mainly a visual inspection of features, fixtures, and fittings, with some photographs taken.
Surveyors may walk around the perimeter of your building to conduct their survey; and in buildings with communal areas, may access the communal area to complete their survey.
