Understanding Home Surveys

When looking into purchasing a house in Lancashire or Preston area, one of the most prudent steps you could take is arranging for a detailed property survey. Property surveys are essential as they uncover the condition of the home you’re considering, potentially saving you from costly repairs down the line. Whether it’s a quaint countryside cottage in Clitheroe or a modern detached house in Preston, having the right information about the building’s state is paramount for peace of mind in such a significant investment.

At Survey Hut, we specialise in providing comprehensive home surveys across Lancashire, giving buyers the clarity they need before proceeding with a property transaction. Our experienced surveyors are fully equipped to identify any concerns, from structural issues to damp, and offer guidance on how these might affect house-buying decisions. It’s our aim to ensure that buyers step into their new Lancashire homes with confidence, knowing exactly what they’re getting into.

What Is a Home Survey?

When buying a house, it’s essential that we get a proper lay of the land. A property survey could save you from potential disputes and unforeseen costs down the line, especially considering the range of properties for sale in Lancashire.

A home survey is a thorough inspection of a property’s condition. It’s the due diligence we perform to ensure we’re fully informed about the state of our potential new home. In essence, it gives us the blueprint of what we’re investing in, from identifying basic structural issues to checking for hidden defects.

Benefits of a Lancashire Property Survey

Prospective home buyers will always do well to remember the advantages of a property survey:

  • Peace of Mind: It reassures us about what we’re buying.
  • Negotiation Leverage: It can inform our negotiation stance, potentially saving us thousands if there are issues to be addressed.
  • Future Planning: It helps us anticipate future maintenance, avoiding unexpected repair costs.

A property survey in Lancashire can be particularly insightful, given the range of property ages and styles in the county—from modern apartments to Victorian houses. It ensures that we enter the market with our eyes open, fully aware of the quirks and qualities of our Lancashire abode.

Testimonials

Laura Jackson
Thank you
Excellent customer service - even responded out of hours (absolutely not something I’d expect from someone)! We opted for the Level 2 RICS survey - flagged up quite a few bits we were not expecting! Worth having done! :)
Rob Aldridge
Love the drone photos
We’ve used Survey Hut twice this year for Level 3 survey and now we wouldn’t use anyone else. They've been incredibly thorough & able to easily guide us through the report. He’s also followed up with a phone call to discuss and put our mind at ease. A lovely feature has been drone footage of the roof, chimney and a Birds Eye view of the property.
Kirsty Mandale
Amazing service
Really good company, keep you well informed. We had a level 2 survey done on the property we were interested in and they went above and beyond for us. The information was very clear on what needed doing and how urgently.
Sue Murphy
Rob is amazing!
Highly recommend Survey Hut. Twice now we’ve used their services and not been disappointed. Our most recent survey went ahead as planned despite the adverse weather conditions ❄️. The report was out within 72 hours and Rob even had the time to go through the report with us over the phone. Extremely pleased with the service provided, thanks Rob and all your colleagues.
