What Is a Condition Survey?

A Home Condition Survey from Alan Rance offers excellent value for money. This type of building survey covers all visible and accessible aspects of a property, with findings submitted to you in a clear, thorough report. This is the best way to uncover any potential faults or issues with a property, and enabling you to make an intelligent decision about how to proceed with the purchase.

All our Home Condition Surveys are carried out by experienced property surveyors with full Residential Property Surveys Association (MRPSA) or Surveyors and Valuers Accreditation Scheme (SAVA) accreditation.

Why Have a Survey Carried Out?

Most buyers will need a Mortgage Valuation via their lender to ensure that the property provides sufficient security for the loan. Please be aware that these surveys are purely for the benefit of the mortgage company; they’re not designed to provide you, the buyer, with any information about the condition of the property or alert you to issues that may need to be dealt with.

An independent Home Condition Survey, on the other hand, provides a detailed assessment of the condition of the property, so that you fully understand the structure you are buying. In a best-case scenario, few (if any) problems will be identified and you can buy the property with confidence. Should defects be uncovered, you may wish to use our findings to support a renegotiation of price or even reconsider your purchase altogether.

Some buyers mistakenly believe that there’s no need for a survey if the property is modern or a new-build. It’s important to remember that housebuilders are only human and mistakes can be made. A more recent build does not give any guarantees of quality, so you are still advised to commission one of our Modern Home Surveys

Client Testimonials

Adam

We recently had a buildings survey completed by Alan. We couldn't be happier with the service that we received. Alan kept us up to date leading up to the survey and sent through the report really quickly once the survey had been completed. Alan was also available for follow up questions we had. An easy 5 star rating.

Stuart Jones

Alan recently carried out a survey on a property I am hoping to buy. The report was much more detailed and thorough than I expected and drew attention to items I had not thought of. The report - running to over 100 pages- was emailed to me on the same day that the survey was undertaken. Overall I was very impressed with the service, thank you

Glenn Wigley

I was introduced to Alan when he carried out an EPC survey and a structural survey on behalf of our buyer. I was impressed with Alan's thoroughness and professionalism. Later when I needed a full structural survey on a property that I was purchasing I had no hesitation in asking Alan. Our survey was carried out quickly and professionally and we received the written report within 24 hours. I would have no hesitation recommending Alan Rance Surveyors.

Paul Rowden

Alan carried out a full structural survey which was really comprehensive and not only covered any work required to the property but on going advice regarding maintenance for each area of the property. Thankfully only one minor issue that was spotted and I have been able to rectify that myself. I would thoroughly recommend as a really helpful and knowledgeable chap who has also been incredibly helpful regarding a damp issue in one of our rental properties. Thank you, so much Alan.

Adam B

I have recently instructed Alan on two properties On the first he saved me from trouble, and I withdrew my offer. On 2nd his advice and guidance has enabled me to obtain quotes for the remedial works prior to agreeing the sale. Alan is very helpful, knowledgeable, and offers a very professional and efficient service. I would highly recommend Alan! He is brilliant!

Amy Walker

Alan delivers above and beyond! Professional, timely and really helpful and patient explaining the ins and outs of the report to a women who has no clue (me). I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything Alan. Total star.

L Blackbourne

If you are looking for a property surveyor then this is a first class professional service I totally recommend. The survey carried out on our behalf showed major issues with the property. On that information I retracted my offer saving me money and time. Thank you once again I will be using Alan J Rance Limited again.
