With the New Year comes the feeling of a fresh start and for many people in the region that means looking to buy a new home.

If you are one of such it is important to consider having a survey. On average homebuyers that did not have a survey before buying a property have paid out £5,750 on repairing hidden defects (please be aware that a mortgage valuation is not a survey it is a basic report written for the lender, not yourself).

For further information on what type of survey to consider please contact BSL Surveyors on 01228 541686 or visit our website at www.bslsurveyors.co.uk. We will be pleased to discuss your requirements and provide appropriate advice.
