1.3.4 Survey Fees

  • The Building Societies Act 1986 requires building societies (but not other lenders) to carry out a valuation of all properties on which new loans are advanced.

  • The surveyor will provide different levels of valuation and report:-


    1. Mortgage valuation; a limited inspection merely to determine the suitability of the property as security for the level of loan requested.
    2. Buyer's report; a survey reporting on the condition and state of repair of the property, generally giving recommendations of repairs needed and sale potential.
    3. Structural survey; a full and detailed survey of structure, not merely state of obvious repair, and full valuation
