They make sure that you have no hidden surprises

You are about to make one of the most important financial decisions of your life. By obtaining a survey you can ensure you are in the know about your property and there are no surprises after you move in.

A survey might appear as an additional, unnecessary cost, but it is better to be aware of any matters that might need attention now, rather than discover problems that are time-consuming and expensive to resolve after you move in. It will also give you comfort that the price agreed represents market value.
