Government research indicates that almost 30 percent of transactions fail between offer acceptance and exchange of contracts and that in over 40 percent of these cases this is due to survey related problems.

LILI member surveys are designed to be an objective report on the condition of the property that can be relied upon by buyers, sellers and mortgage lenders. They are written in Plain English in a standard format and describe the general condition of the property taking account of its age, character and location; how energy efficient it is; and any defects or other matters requiring attention.

The surveys are designed to be 'mid-range' , similar to the current Homebuyer Survey and Valuation - not as detailed as a Building Survey (sometimes known as a 'full structural survey') but a lot more extensive than a mortgage lender's valuation inspection.

LILI Surveys are objective, independent and are prepared quickly and professionally, they give both buyers and seller the opportunity to identify and deal with any queries prior to a sale, thereby reducing the risk of sales collapsing during the time between agreement and completion. 

The survey, can be prepared at the same time as the mandatory energy assessment, and as such are extremely cost effective compared to virtually all other surveys available on the market.
