Do I need a Property Valuation Report, Home Buyer Reports or a Building Survey Report Barnet
Before buying a property you need to make sure that you know the difference between the various reports and valuations that we are offering.

A home buyer report is a more detailed report that includes information on the condition of the property, as well as any potential repairs or maintenance that may be needed. This report is typically used by buyers who are looking to purchase a property that needs some work, or who want to be sure that they are getting a cheap offer on the house they intend to buy.
A building survey report is the most comprehensive of the three types of reports, and includes information on the condition of the property, as well as any major repairs or renovations that may be needed. This report is generally utilized by purchasers who want to acquire a house that requires extensive renovation or who want to ensure that they are receiving a decent bargain on the property they are interested in.
