Vendor’s Survey
Speed up the sale of your home with an up-front pre-sale Vendor’s Survey.
Assess your property before you sell
Getting ahead is always a good idea when it comes to planning your next move. And with our new Vendor’s Survey you can do just that.
Find out more below and join the growing number of homeowners who are taking some smart, up-front steps in selling their property faster and more confidently.
What is a vendor’s survey?
A Vendor’s Survey is a professional, independent home survey you can have carried out on your property before you put it on the market. This up-front survey will flag up any potential issues a buyer may come across during the sales process, which could cause complications, slow down progress, potentially lower the selling price or end in the offer being withdrawn.
More people are using this as a smart get-ahead option, and we at Richard Russell Surveyors are carrying out Vendor Surveys for many homeowners who are anxious to know if there may be any headaches with selling their property later down the line.
What are the benefits?
-
Find out about potential issues before buyers do, giving you the chance to carry out repairs and avoid surprises later.
-
Missing paperwork for alterations? Non-compliant loft conversions? A pre-sale survey helps highlight legal risks, allowing you to fix them before buyers get involved.
-
Many sales fall through due to unexpected issues. Resolving problems upfront can keep your sale on track and prevent last-minute renegotiations.
-
uyers are more likely to proceed if they have a clear picture of the property’s condition. Transparency can speed up decision-making and reduce the risk of deals falling through.
What’s included?
Pre-survey consultation
We’ll schedule an initial telephone or Teams call to understand your needs and discuss any particular concerns you may have regarding the property so we provide you with the most suitable service.
Detailed inspection
By limiting weekly surveys, we can maximise our time on-site and thoroughly inspect all accessible areas and identify defects.
Written report
You’ll receive a clear, detailed written report with photographs within three working days. If you need a paper version for accessibility just let us know. We’ll also send relevant findings to your solicitor.
Post-survey advice
We’ll arrange a discussion of the report findings with you and answer any questions you may have. Guiding you through the entire process, step by step we’ll keep our door open for as long as you need.
