Buying a property is always a serious matter and the more information and clarity a client has going into a purchase the better.
Aldeburgh is a thriving coastal town with high demand for both holiday homes and for full-time residences. It has a wealth of facilities including boutique, independent and high street favourite shops, an art deco cinema, art galleries, a small concert hall, hotels, fine dining, cafes and tearooms. The beautiful coastal view is a great backdrop to the area, which is used as the centre of the international Aldeburgh Festival; a renowned annual festival celebrating arts and classical music. Properties range from mid terraced fishermen’s cottages to flats overlooking the sea, to larger detached houses and secluded mansions.
It is critically important that a client not only has the right survey but also understands the results and how they may impact the purchase and the property over time. For this reason we always have a detailed conversation with each client after our report is sent. The aim of this is to make sure they are fully aware of all the issues, evidence and implications of all the details in the report. This way they can move ahead with the purchase in possession of all the facts. This level of detail is sadly not always provided by some larger practices or banks.
