For England and Wales, our initial offer will be subject to the RICS survey and valuation and we reserve the right to withdraw our offer should the survey be deemed unsatisfactory. For Scotland, our initial offer will be based on the Home Report value. Any issues or defects raised in either survey that may influence the saleability of your existing home may require you to have these put right at your own expense prior to exchange of contracts or legal completion at the latest. If any defects or repairs are required we will forward the relevant extracts from the survey report for your information and attention

If there are specific items you wish to remove these must be identified with our Part Exchange Manager and duly documented. This may necessitate your replacing of any items removed or carrying out reinstatement of walls, ceilings or floors to an acceptable standard, including the filling of any holes and repainting.
