Our Comprehensive HomeBuyer Survey & Report.
Buying a property can be stressful, but our RICS HomeBuyer Survey Report helps to reduce the risks associated with purchasing your new home.
Our RICS HomeBuyer Survey identifies any serious defects or problems with the property, along with potential legal issues that may require further investigation by your solicitor. It also provides advice on future maintenance issues, enabling you to make informed financial planning decisions. Our report covers:
- Identification of structural issues
- Assessment of Condition
- Market valuation
- Reinstatement cost assessment
- Future maintenance advice
Our Chartered Surveyors will inspect the property and compile a comprehensive RICS Home Buyer Survey Report. This report systematically covers all key elements of the building, flagging any issues that might need further attention. It adheres to best practice guidelines issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
RICS Home Buyer Survey can include a market valuation to determine if you’re paying a fair price for the property, as well as a reinstatement value necessary for insurance purposes. The reinstatement value is the estimated cost to rebuild your property if required. Both the market valuation and reinstatement cost assessment can be added to your survey for a small, additional fee.
Types of RICS Surveys we offer:
Condition Report (RICS Level 1)
A basic overview highlighting significant issues. Ideal for newer homes or properties in good condition.
