Before you book
Start with the condition of the home and what you need the report for. A mortgage valuation helps the lender assess its security; it does not replace a survey for you.
For a conventional home in reasonable condition. It reports on visible defects, condition ratings and matters needing attention. It is a visual inspection: hidden areas and services cannot be fully assessed.
