While the benefits of a pre-purchase survey are well understood, surveying prior to selling is less so. As a consequence, many properties enter the market with defects and issues that are laid open for a diligent acquisition surveyor to discover, giving purchasers the upper hand in negotiations. A Vendor Survey can appraise the property before going to market, showing potential buyers that all issues have been considered in the market price. It also provides an opportunity to address issues and present the asset in the best possible light, achieving maximum return on the investment.
