  • Welcome to MS Surveys
  • Our Surveyors

A study by Which? found that whilst 80% of homebuyers said they wanted a defects survey on the home they are considering purchasing, less than 20% actually commission one. 


Most buyers rely on a mortgage valuation which is not a defects survey.  In some cases the property will not even be inspected when a mortgage valuation is carried out, and you are unlikely to receive a copy of the mortgage valuation report.  


Obtaining a defects survey lets you know the true condition of the property and sometimes you can achieve a reduction in the price, which is negotiated based on the defects presented in the survey report:
