- A Valuation report that has been obtained by a mortgage lender will often be from an in-house staff valuer, an associated firm of valuers or a corporate organisation with whom they have reciprocal arrangements.
- These organisations may also offer you additional Homebuyer Survey Reports and occasionally Building Surveys.
- However, are they truly unbiased?
- An organisation that lends money can be disinterested in the outcome of a survey inspection. They may be providing the money, selling the property through its estate agency arm, providing other financial services and gaining a survey fee all legally!
- Independent surveyors are exactly that, independent! They will give an unbiased report tailored to the specific needs of you, the client.
- They will offer independent advice which you can base a decision that is uninfluenced by any external considerations.
