Absolutely. Almost without exception, the surveyor will find something you should be aware of before you confirm your purchase. In most cases, these things are minor in nature and will not cause you to reconsider your offer. These will be little things that you can fix at your convenience when you own the boat.
Sometimes though, the surveyor will uncover something that could pose a risk to the vessel, crew or your bank balance. In such cases, you have the option of withdrawing from the Sale & Purchase Agreement or we can assist you in renegotiating the deal.
Personally, I would never buy a boat without a full hull and mechanical inspection. A list of surveyors is available by clicking in SERVICES.
Just as there are good marine brokers and not so good marine brokers, there are also good surveyors and a very few, not so good surveyors. Some surveyors are experts in certain construction techniques and have limited experience on others. You should talk to a number of surveyors before making a choice of which one will carry out your pre purchase inspection. Better still, ask around your boating peers and you will no doubt find out who the good surveyors are. You should note that some of brokers are less than honest in this area and will only give your one name to chose from and that will not necessarily be the best of the bunch!.
