Countrywide Home Surveys has partnered with mortgage and financial services firm Morrow to give its clients easier access to property surveys when purchasing a home.

The agreement will allow Morrow customers to access Countrywide’s nationwide network of RICS-qualified surveyors directly through its website, making it easier to arrange an independent assessment of a property alongside mortgage and legal services.

The partnership aims to create a more joined-up homebuying experience, helping buyers understand a property's condition and identify potential issues that could result in unexpected costs after completion. It is hoped that the partnership would bring discussions about property condition into the buying process earlier, supporting better-informed decisions and reducing the risk of unexpected costs after completion.

Amit Gupta, financial services director at Morrow, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Countrywide Home Surveys, enabling us to extend that commitment beyond financial advice by giving our clients seamless access to a trusted, nationwide network of qualified surveyors. This partnership is another important step in creating a more joined-up and accessible homebuying experience, ensuring our clients have the information, guidance, and support they need to make well-informed decisions when undertaking what is likely to be one of the largest financial commitments and investments of their lives.”

Helen Stead, head of Countrywide Home Surveys, added: “Improving the homebuying process isn't simply about making transactions faster, it's also about ensuring buyers have a clear understanding of the property's condition and any potential issues that could affect its long-term value or lead to unexpected costs.”
