We understand that moving home can be a very stressful experience. Finding a new home, finding somebody to buy your existing home, agreeing a sale price, organising contracts, dealing with agents, meeting deadlines and arranging the removal operation etc. If you’re in a chain then the process can be even more stressful and anxious. It is critical therefore that this process flows as smoothly and as timely as possible.
We carry out a lot of building surveys and a small, but not insignificant number of these inspections result in the sale falling through. Furthermore, a number of these inspections result in delays that put the chain under strain. The reasons for this are often the same, and the vendor is often unaware of the problems in their home until the survey stage – well on in the process, when the consequences of the sale falling through are more significant.
