Property Surveys

GOTO Surveys

Before buying a property, it is important to understand the condition of the home you are purchasing. A mortgage valuation is mainly for the lender but it is not the same as a detailed survey for you as the buyer.

GOTO Surveys can help arrange property surveys, including Home Survey Level 2 and Home Survey Level 3 reports. These reports can help identify potential issues before you commit fully to the purchase.

A property survey may help highlight:

• Structural concerns
• Damp, timber or roof issues
• Repairs that may be needed
• Potential future maintenance costs
• Issues that could affect the property value
• Matters your solicitor may need to investigate

This can be especially important for older properties, unusual homes, properties needing work, or buyers who want more certainty before exchange.

Credit Reports Before A Mortgage

Checkmyfile

Your credit file can have a major impact on your mortgage options and it is important to get it early. Before applying for a mortgage, it can be helpful to check your credit report so your adviser can understand what lenders are likely to see.

Checkmyfile provides a multi-agency credit report, showing information from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion in one place.

This can help identify:

• Missed or late payments
• Defaults
• County Court Judgments
• Linked addresses
• Electoral roll information
• Credit balances and limits
• Errors or outdated information
• Issues that may affect a mortgage application

Energy Performance Certificates

EPC Provider

An Energy Performance Certificate, often known as an EPC, shows how energy efficient a property is.

You may need an EPC if you are selling a property, letting a property, buying a rental property, or reviewing the energy rating of your home.

An EPC usually includes:

• The property’s current energy rating
• Estimated energy usage
• Estimated energy costs
• Suggested improvements
• A potential future energy rating
• A certificate that is usually valid for 10 years

For landlords, EPC rules can be particularly important because minimum energy standards may affect whether a property can be rented out.

Our recommended EPC provider can help arrange an assessment with a qualified energy assessor.
