Helping you choose the right survey
Why do you need an RICS Home Survey?
Because forewarned is forearmed. Choosing the right survey will help highlight any serious problems and advise you of the specific risks before you commit to the process of buying or selling a property. Our surveys are conducted by RICS qualified surveyors. Reliable and cost effective, these reports carry the full weight of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors – the industry’s most respected authority on surveying.
Types of surveys offered
- Building Survey
- Home Condition Report
- RICS Home Survey
Which survey your choose will depend on a number of factors such as the age and condition of a property, so please give us a call so we can discuss your requirements.
Selling a home
An RICS survey can be an aid to selling your home. It will show you any problems that may delay your sale or cause price reductions later in the process.
Staying at home
The RICS Home Survey – Level 2
Survey
Choose this report if you need information whilst buying or selling a conventional house, flat or bungalow, built from common building materials and in reasonable condition.
The focus is on assessing the general condition of the main elements of a property. This intermediate level of service includes a more extensive visual inspection of the building, its services and grounds, but still without tests.
Concealed areas normally opened or used by the occupiers are inspected if it is safe to do so (typical examples include roof spaces, basements and cellars). The report objectively describes the condition of the different elements and provides an assessment of the relative importance of the defects/problems.
Survey & Valuation
As the RICS Home Survey – Level 2 above but includes
• the surveyor’s professional opinion on the ‘market value’ of the property
• an insurance reinstatement figure for the property
