Home Survey
Home Survey
The Home Survey is broadly equivalent to RICS ‘Survey Level Two’.
The information is provided in a straightforward, easy to read report format, and will be a property specific report for the service in accordance with the current edition of the Home Survey standard RICS professional statement.
It is divided into numbered sections and will comment upon those major defects and shortcomings that might affect your decision to purchase. At the start, the report includes the ‘Surveyor’s overall opinion’, which is a general overview of the property. At the end, the ‘Summary of condition and recommendations’ brings together the most important findings under three headings:
1. Urgent repairs
2. Matters requiring further investigation
3. Maintenance issues
The report is based on a visual inspection of as much of the interior and exterior of the building as is reasonably and safely accessible. If possible (depending on weather conditions) we will use a camera pole to view concealed areas. A full description of the service is given in the Terms and Conditions of Engagement leaflet, which your surveyor will provide.
This type of report is suitable for most conventionally built residential properties, constructed since around 1900. Properties that are unusual, by virtue of their design or construction or those that are particularly large might require a more detailed report, such as a Building Survey. Your surveyor will advise you further in this respect, during the preliminary discussion.
