Blackman Chartered Surveyors offers a comprehensive range of survey and valuation services throughout the Tendring area. The senior partner, Pat Blackman, has built up a reputation over the past 30 years for fast, reliable and accurate reporting upon all property matters. Whether you obtain a mortgage report or you are a cash buyer, you need to make sure that the property you purchase will not give you any nasty surprises. You cannot rely upon a mortgage report to give you a detailed picture of the condition of your property. Both the Council of Mortgage Lenders and the Consumers’ Association recommend that you obtain an independent survey by a chartered surveyor. This may find serious faults to your property; it could prevent you from making an expensive mistake or enable you to renegotiate the price to reflect the faults.
