Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Home Survey – Level 2 and Level 3
As mentioned above, we would always recommend getting a property survey in addition to the valuation that’s carried out for Skipton Building Society.
A survey won’t delay your mortgage application but could highlight any defects or provide a discussion point around the property’s price. It’s a useful tool that’s designed for the homebuyer and could provide additional peace of mind.
Should you wish to arrange your own survey, one option for you is to contact Connells Survey & Valuations, 01525 218619 and quote "Skipton" with your application number. As a Skipton borrower you can expect to receive a discount on the elevated surveys. Connells will talk to you about the property being purchased, your options and the cost.
This survey will be independent of Skipton and not used for mortgage purposes. Connells is part of The Skipton Group.
