Cancellation Policy

In terms of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellations and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you are entitled to cancel this contract by giving notice in writing to the surveyors office at any time before the day of inspection and in any event within fourteen days of entering into this contract. Please note that where you have agreed to or specifically requested that the surveyor provides services to you within fourteen days of entering into the contract, you will be responsible for fees and charges incurred by the surveyor up until the date of cancellation.

The Surveyor will be entitled not to proceed with the inspection (and will so report promptly to the Seller) if after arriving at the property, the Surveyor concludes that it is of a type of construction of which the surveyor has insufficient specialist knowledge to be able to provide the inspection satisfactorily. The Surveyor will also be entitled not to proceed if after arriving at the property, the surveyor concludes that the property is exempt under Part 3 of The Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 as detailed in the (Prescribed Documents) Regulations 2008. If there is a potential threat to their health or personal safety, the inspection may be postponed or cancelled, at the Surveyors discretion.

The Surveyors acknowledge that their duty of skill and care in relation to the report is owed to the Seller and to the Purchaser. The surveyors accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever in relation to the Report to persons other than the Seller and the Purchaser. The Seller and Purchaser should be aware that if a Lender seeks to rely on this Report they do so at their own risk. In particular, the surveyors accept no responsibility whatsoever to any Lender in relation to the Report. Any such Lender relies upon the Report entirely at their own risk.

In the case of cancellation or the inspection not proceeding, the Surveyor will refund any fees paid by the Seller for inspection and Report, except for expenses reasonably incurred and any fee due in light of the final paragraph of this section.

In the case of cancellation by the Seller, for whatever reason, after the inspection has taken place but before a written report is issued, the Surveyor will be entitled to raise an Invoice equivalent to 80% of the agreed fee.

**Which shall be in accordance with the current RICS Valuation – (The Red Book) and RICS Rules of Conduct.
