Its main purpose is to verify the property’s market value for the loan while noting only significant defects that might influence that figure.
Securing a personal survey remains wise even when a lender valuation has already been completed.
The recognised RICS Home Survey range comprises three tiers each matched to particular property profiles and buyer priorities.
A Level One Condition Report gives buyers a high-level view of condition employing a clear red amber green classification. This level works well for standard homes that appear well maintained and omits both repair recommendations and any valuation figure.
Level Two commonly called the HomeBuyer Report attracts the greatest number of instructions from private purchasers. It examines the property more thoroughly than Level One and includes advice on defects together with a market valuation and an insurance reinstatement cost. The familiar colour-coded ratings appear yet the accompanying text is fuller enabling purchasers to grasp the significance of each mark.
The most detailed service Level Three the Building Survey is particularly appropriate for older larger or architecturally distinctive homes. It involves a detailed inspection of the structure and fabric and provides extensive advice on defects repairs and maintenance.
Clients who require a valuation alongside the Building Survey must request that additional service. Lenders customarily commission a valuation as a precondition of releasing the mortgage monies. Its purpose is to reassure the mortgagee that the property value supports the proposed loan. Many buyers mistakenly believe the lender valuation is sufficient for their own protection yet it often contains only limited information.
Buyer-instructed surveys often identify issues that impact habitability projected outgoings or the overall viability of the purchase. Fees differ depending on the survey tier selected the dimensions and situation of the dwelling and the charging policy of the practice. The basic Level One option is usually cheapest and the comprehensive Level Three service is more costly owing to the additional inspection time. Before inspection most practitioners consult the purchaser so that the correct level of survey can be selected.
When the survey arrives the buyer needs to study the content and request further detail on any aspect that is not fully understood. Significant problems can justify a request for a price reduction or for the vendor to carry out repairs prior to exchange of contracts. Occasionally the contents of the report cause a purchaser to decide against completing the purchase.
Buyers who match the survey depth to the property and respond sensibly to the advice reduce the risk of expensive problems and disappointment. The decision to obtain a suitable survey ultimately contributes significantly to a buyer’s sense of security when entering the UK property market.
