BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

A few helpful answers.

What if I don’t know which service to choose?+

Choose “I’m not sure” and describe the decision or request you’re dealing with. You can continue without selecting a service.

Can I book an inspection straight away?+

The enquiry is the starting point. Scope, availability, any conflicts, and the quote need to be confirmed before an instruction and inspection are arranged.

What if the valuation is for a bank?+

Tell us which lender it is for and whether they have given you any instructions. Confirm the lender’s ordering requirements before commissioning a report.

What should I have ready?+

The property address, why you need advice, and your preferred timing are a useful start. Relevant documents can be discussed once the scope is understood.
