My last one was £850. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinell, I was going to get one done for insurance value, as Porthcawl (like most insurers) will only insure the boat for what you paid for it, not it's current value  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A valuation survey won't be that much, mine was a pre purchase. BTW, GJW who I use for insurance agreed to up my boats value by 8% without a survey.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 What liability do the surveyors have? If a problem is not picked up and later becomes apparent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most will have a disclaimer or tu. But yew do yore research b4 yew employ them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be an MCA coding survey so Inwas thinking it’s about £25-30 a foot… which is probably about right on what you have suggested…. at least I’d get a valuation at the same time I suppose 😬😬😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
