Pre-Purchase Appraisal
Understand the true cost of transforming a property before you commit to buying it.
Service Description
Purchasing a property that requires refurbishment or alterations can present significant financial uncertainty. Our Pre-Purchase Refurbishment Appraisal provides an independent assessment of the likely construction costs, helping you establish whether your proposed improvements are realistic and financially viable. With extensive experience in high-end residential construction, we can identify potential challenges, highlight areas of concern and provide practical guidance on the likely costs involved. What’s included * Property consultation: An initial discussion to understand your proposed alterations, refurbishment aspirations and available budget. * Site visit: A walk-through assessment of the property to review its existing condition and discuss the proposed works. * Indicative refurbishment costs: An assessment of anticipated construction costs, broken down into principal work categories. * Potential risks: Identification of visible issues or complexities that could influence the overall project budget. * Feasibility advice: Practical guidance on the proposed alterations, including considerations relating to structural changes, extensions and internal reconfiguration. * Budget recommendations: Advice on appropriate contingency allowances and areas where costs may be reduced. * Written summary: A clear report outlining the estimated costs, key observations and recommendations. Who is this for? Homebuyers, investors and homeowners considering properties requiring refurbishment, extension or significant alterations. Particularly valuable before exchanging contracts, when understanding the potential financial commitment could influence your purchase decision or negotiations. This is a refurbishment cost appraisal rather than a structural survey or formal building condition report. FROM £395 + VAT
