Did you know that a Mortgage Valuation is not a survey; it is a limited check on the property that your mortgage lender, (bank), carries out to ensure it is worth the money they are lending to you.
Lenders may provide a copy of the mortgage valuation to the buyer but it is unlikely to cover items of detail which would be picked up in a survey. It is still advisable and prudent to arrange a survey by your own surveyor.
The consumers' association Which? magazine and the Council of Mortgage Lenders both give this advice.
The Mortgage Valuation report is prepared for the lender - not for you, the borrower. You cannot rely on it to answer the questions which concern your personal interests.
There may be problems in the property that would cost a huge amount to put right and they will not appear in the Valuation Report. This is why it is really important you have a RICS Surveyor who is fully qualified to carry out a detailed survey before you commit to purchase your home.
