Can we book a level 3 survey before the bank valuation?

[BowlCone]

We are buying a house and would like a level 3 survey. We’ll also have a mortgage and th bank may want to do a valuation.

We can just go ahead and get our survey booked in, is that right? No need to tie it in with the bank’s valuation?

Yes you can book it anytime. Some people wait until after the bank survey for reassurance that the purchase will go ahead before spending money on a level 3 but there’s nothing to stop you booking it before.

And in most situations you can sell the survey on, with a small loss, if still in date.
