OUR REVIEWS
rics home surveys
A Home Survey is an inspection of a property to determine its condition, undertaken by an expert in building pathology. The Surveyor visits the property, carries out a very thorough inspection and then reports back on any problems they have uncovered.
There are different types of Home Surveys available, with the choice of which one to take dependent on the type of property and requirements. In the service grid above, we provide links to pages on Level 1, 2 and 3 Surveys as well as snagging reports.
At Websters Surveyors, we carry out surveys ranging from entry level Condition reports to thorough Building surveys. Each survey has a purpose and our team can help you decide on which survey is best for you.
The most common type of survey is the HomeBuyer survey. It is adequate for almost all property types and will provide enough detail and advice that will help the buyer make a more informed decision or in some cases help them negotiate a better purchase price or ask the seller to undertake works prior to exchange of contracts.

lease extension and enfranchisement valuers
Extending your lease or buying your freehold, known as collective enfranchisement, can be a timely and costly process which often involves negotiation, tactics and strict time keeping. It is for this reason many people appoint an experienced leasehold reform specialist Surveyor to help guide and advise them.
The first step in extending your lease is to have a Surveyor undertake a valuation and report to you on the likely costs involved. The valuation involves a thorough inspection of the property, going through the lease and any other important documents, comprehensive research of the market and any court case evidence and reporting back.
Every lease extension is different. As such you cannot rely on figures of a neighbour who has recently extended their lease. The reason for this is that the calculation itself takes into consideration many variables and small tweaks can change the premium payable.
If you have thought about extending your lease or buying your freehold, speak to one of our lease extension specialists today.
market valuation reports
A Market Valuation is a fairly general term for any type of report that assess the value of a property. These could be Red Book compliant reports if they are needed for:
-Capital Gains Tax
-Inheritance Tax
-Matrimonial/Divorce Settlement
-Compulsory Purchase
-Staircasing and Shared ownership or shared equity
A good quality Red Book Market Valuation provides you with the security that it has been carried out in compliance with best practice guidance.
A Market Valuation can also be outside of the remits or the Red Book Report. This would usually be done for agency, marketing or for negotiations.
At Websters Surveyors these reports are all carried out by RICS Registered Valuers, which is a designation achieved by demonstrating competence and experience in providing a range of Red Book Valuations.
