Upfront Surveys

Why let your buyer discover your home’s problems?

Your buyer will get a survey at some point. The difference is whether it protects your sale or disrupts it weeks later. With the Gazeal Seller Survey, your home is inspected before it goes on the market, so serious buyers can see its condition before they make an offer. That means fewer surprises, less renegotiation and a price agreed with confidence.

It’s like selling with a full service history. A used car with a service record and a fresh MOT feels safe to buy. Homes are no different. When buyers can see an independent, accredited report from day one, they trust the property and the price.

Before your home goes on the market, an independent accredited surveyor inspects it and produces a Level 2/3 report. You see any issues first, then decide whether to put them right or price them into your asking price. The survey is shared with buyers before they offer, so everyone starts with the same information. That cuts the risk of late renegotiation and can save weeks. The estate agent sets the asking price, not the surveyor.

How the survey is paid for

  • No upfront cost. The survey is arranged when you list, and nothing is paid when it’s booked.
  • Pay at completion. The fee is settled at completion or within six months, whichever comes first.
  • Nothing to pay if the sale collapses through no fault of your own, when the survey is used with a Reservation Agreement.*

Protection for both sides

The surveyor’s professional indemnity covers both the buyer and the seller. You’re protected on what you disclose, and buyers can rely on the findings rather than commissioning their own survey. Neither side carries the risk alone, so both can commit to the sale from day one.

It isn’t compulsory, but it’s one of the best ways to protect your sale. An accredited surveyor inspects your home before it goes on the market, so you know about any issues first and buyers can see the condition before they offer. There is no upfront cost, and the fee is settled at completion or within six months.

Nothing upfront. The fee is paid at completion or within six months, whichever comes first, and if your sale falls through through no fault of your own while you have a Reservation Agreement, you don’t pay.
