What is a home Survey?
A home survey is a detailed inspection of a property’s condition. It’s crucial when buying a new home because it helps identify any underlying issues like structural damage or repairs needed. By getting a survey, you can avoid unexpected costs down the road. Not sure which survey you need? Reach out to INhouse, and we’ll guide you through the process.
What are the different types of home surveys?
Surveys come in various levels, from basic Condition Reports to more detailed Building Surveys. The type of survey you need depends on the property. For newer homes, a simpler report might suffice, but older or unique properties usually need more in-depth assessments. INhouse offers all levels of surveys, and we’re happy to help you choose the right one.
How much does a home survey cost?
Survey costs vary depending on the level of detail and the size of the property. While they might seem like an extra expense, they’re an investment in peace of mind. We can provide a clear, competitive quote for your specific needs—just get in touch for more info.
How long does a home survey take?
Typically, a survey will take a few hours on-site, but the total process—including receiving the final report—can take a week or two. The timeline depends on the property and type of survey. At INhouse, we keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and transparent experience.
Can I negotiate the property price based on the survey findings?
Absolutely! If our survey uncovers issues, it can be a strong point for negotiating a better price or having the seller make necessary repairs. INhouse can help explain the findings clearly, so you’re in a strong position when it comes to negotiations.
How do you inspect roofs and hard-to-reach places during a property survey?
We use advanced drone technology to safely and thoroughly inspect roofs and awkward areas that traditional methods can’t easily access. Our drones capture detailed, high-resolution images, giving us a comprehensive view of your property’s condition without the need for scaffolding or ladders. This ensures you get the most accurate insights into your property—top to bottom.
