Scottish Survey Information


An overview of the basics.


Survey and the Home Report – A survey is required to provide value and comment on the structure. Remember your survey will set the base bar of the value and this value will determine how much a lender will loan you. If selling this value sets the value which buyers will use. Remember that you should always talk with the surveyor and negotiate this sum as its not set in stone as the surveyour may not be as aware as you are of the property and local values. Why your property is worth more that the one down the street.


You should always have a good read at the survey report that comes as part of the Home Report. Among other things, you should check the value the surveyor has placed on the property and any recommendations for repairs that are required. You may also wish to see if the surveyor has made any comment as to whether or not the property has been altered or extended as this could affect the value and structure.


All In The Detail


The survey also contains other information such as the age of the property and comment regarding the area and surroundings, as well as suitability for mortgage lending.

hbc explain what  questions you should always ask

ALWAYS QUESTION

Knowing & Asking Is Always Better Than Assuming What Is Happening.

HOW TO AVOID ANY STRESS & ASSUMPTIONS

Assumptions create 70% of all conveyancing stress and issues. We make assumptions every minute of every day. Something happens and we instantly assign meaning to it. That is an assumption. Yet conveyancing and the residential legal system in Scotland is constantly changing and so does what your solicitor is reqired by law to do and what is required of you. We start imagining and reasoning what is going on, we look at social media and ask friends, what they think, what they experienced. We rationalise an entire assumed story based on assumptions and we believe it. One assumption leads to another assumption; we jump to conclusions and we take it personally. Almost all conflicts and desisions we take are based on assumptions. Assumptions are nothing more than false stories that we are telling ourselves. They create a big drama for no reason because they aren’t based on fact. If you really want to avoid the stress of moving, ensure that your experience is a possitive one and you are informed, why not just ask your property solicitor?
