What if the vendor has already provided one — is another report really necessary?
In this video, Leah Kelly, Associate Solicitor at McCarthy + Co, explains why purchasers should arrange their own independent engineer’s report.
The vendor’s report was prepared for the vendor, not for you. Carrying out your own due diligence gives you an independent assessment of the property before proceeding with what may be one of the largest financial transactions of your life.
As Leah explains, the principle of “buyer beware” applies, and an independent survey can be a worthwhile investment for greater peace of mind.
