Buying a home is one of the biggest financial commitments you’ll ever make, so understanding exactly what you’re buying is crucial.
While your mortgage lender may carry out an appraisal, this is designed to protect their investment, not yours.
A professional survey conducted by a RICS qualified surveyor provides an independent assessment of the condition of the property, helping to identify issues such as dampness, structural movement, roof defects or other costly repairs that may not be visible during a viewing.
The survey can help buyers:
- Understand the true condition of the property.
- Avoid unexpected repair costs.
- Future maintenance budget.
- Negotiate the price if major defects are found.
- Buy with greater confidence and peace of mind.
- Determines the likelihood of being able to sell the property in the future.
At The Moving Portal, we understand that the quality of a survey depends on the quality of the surveyor carrying it out. That’s why we’ve built a trusted team of experienced RICS surveyors who have worked with us for many years.
Our surveyors are carefully selected based on their professionalism, experience, commitment to providing high quality reports and excellent customer service.
Many of them have been part of our team for a long period of time, allowing us to build strong relationships and maintain consistently high standards for our clients.
On our board is The Moving Portal’s in-house surveying company, Syderek Survey Solutions. Syderek was founded in 2020 by Elliot and Glenn, with the name in honor of their late parents Syder and Derek. Syderek offers multiple survey products with RICS Surveyors. The key benefits mean we can offer additional availability alongside our comprehensive external panel.
Rather than searching for a surveyor yourself, you can benefit from access to our network of trusted professionals who are familiar with the local property markets and experienced in providing clear, practical advice to homebuyers.
A survey is a small investment that can save buyers thousands of pounds and prevent unwanted surprises after moving.
By connecting homebuyers with experienced and trusted surveyors who have a proven track record of working with us, Mobile Portal helps make the surveying process simple, reliable and reassuring, giving buyers greater confidence in one of life’s most important decisions.
