Survey
Once you have applied for your mortgage the lender will initially obtain various references, eg: from your landlord, current mortgage lender, employer, etc, then appoint an independent surveyor to inspect the property. The surveyor will produce a report and in most instances the lender will provide a copy of the report.
The surveyor may recommend that additional inspections are needed, eg: for damp proofing, wall ties, electrics, etc. Dowens will assist in obtaining such reports on properties being sold by ourselves.
