Frequently asked questions

What valuation fee will I have to pay?

If you are buying a new home then you will have to pay for a valuation of the property.

If you are remortgaging, then you don’t have to pay for your valuation.

You may also want to consider instructing a separate survey to provide you with a more detailed assessment of the condition of the property.

More information on the types of survey available can be found on the ‘Home Surveys’ section of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors website.

Please note that if you do instruct your own survey, this will be a separate contract between you and your chosen survey provider with separate fees applying. We will always rely on the mortgage valuation for the purpose of agreeing the mortgage. Please be aware that a physical valuation may not take place on all cases.
