Both Which? and the Council of Mortgage Lenders advise that all buyers should commission an independent survey and report on the condition of a property before buying.

The Home Condition Survey is carried out by a fully qualified and accredited residential surveyor. It gives a plain English, professional report on the condition of the property using a simple 1, 2, 3 rating guide.
