Infos

Designed for people who have decided against having an independent survey of the property they intend to purchase - up to 75 per cent of purchasers - this book will also be of use to those wishing to do a preliminary inspection themselves, so as to get the best value out of a professional survey. There is advice on how to think logically about the kind of house you need to suit your lifestyle, and how to go about buying and selling, with an emphasis on viewing and preliminary inspection.
