It’s always advised that Buyers have a survey, to ensure that they are fully aware of any physical problems with the property before committing to a purchase. <br /> <br />There is no obligation on the Seller to disclose any physical defects. Similarly, unless up to date gas and electrical safety certificates are available, it is advised that central heating/boilers and electrical systems are checked by a competent professional before exchange of contracts. <br /> <br />If you are having a mortgage, then your lender will arrange for a valuation to be carried out. This is not a survey. It is simply designed to establish that the property is sufficient security for the loan. <br /> <br />This video is part of series of frequently asked questions on purchasing/selling residential property.
