Prior to a survey, it is recommended that you carry out any improvements that you can. The survey is a snapshot of your property at that time, any improvements after a survey is completed cannot be added to increase the score. You would need another full survey.

Simple things that you can do to improve your score would be to ensure as many of your light bulbs are LEDs, Increase your loft insulation and fit draught proofing around windows, doors & letterbox.

It is important that you have any invoices for insulation or building work to hand. 

As a surveyor is unable to determine visually if a wall is insulated, a boarded loft has more insulation than standard or how old your windows are, then an 'assumed' entry will appear of which could bring your score down.

Access to the whole of the property is required. In the event that a door to a room, basement or the attic is locked, we will need to revisit to complete the survey at an additional charge of £30 to cover time and travel costs.
