It’s your choice

Without out a doubt the single most important factor likely to affect both the value and your enjoyment of a property is its physical condition. Remember, even if you are obtaining a mortgage, it’s up to you who does the survey on the property. A mortgage valuation is in fact prepared for the bank or building society for the purposes of a lending decision only and does not constitute Ant form of detailed survey. Whilst a mortgage lender may insist on controlling who does a valuation, you can instruct whoever you want to provide you with a survey.
