The report focuses on ensuring the collateral covers the advance and flags solely those problems likely to impact the valuation figure.
It is prudent for buyers to obtain their own survey report rather than relying solely on the lender’s valuation.
Under the present RICS system buyers can choose from three survey levels suited to different dwellings and individual circumstances.
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 the HomeBuyer Report remains the most popular choice for the majority of residential purchases. It examines the property more thoroughly than Level One and includes advice on defects together with a market valuation and an insurance reinstatement cost. Surveyors use the same traffic-light system but expand the commentary so buyers understand the implications of each rating.
Buyers considering aged substantial or unconventional properties are usually directed towards the Level Three Building Survey. The report is based on an exhaustive inspection and delivers substantial advice covering defects the required repairs and long-term maintenance.
Clients who require a valuation alongside the Building Survey must request that additional service. Mortgage lenders almost always require their own valuation report before they will release funds. The lender’s valuation serves the bank or building society by confirming that the property offers adequate collateral. Buyers who treat the valuation as a full survey risk overlooking important condition issues that the report does not address.
An independent survey commissioned by the buyer can reveal defects that might affect living conditions future costs or even the decision to proceed. Survey costs vary according to the level chosen the size and location of the property and the fee structure of the surveying firm. The basic Level One option is usually cheapest and the comprehensive Level Three service is more costly owing to the additional inspection time. Surveyors commonly speak with the buyer in advance in order to advise on the survey level best matched to the dwelling.
Careful reading of the completed report followed by questions on unclear sections helps the buyer make full use of the information. Findings of substantial concern can form the basis for price discussions or for conditions that the seller must remedy the defects. There are instances in which survey findings prompt the buyer to walk away from the deal.
The right level of survey combined with careful attention to its conclusions helps avoid costly surprises and dissatisfaction after moving in. In the end commissioning a qualified survey offers buyers valuable reassurance throughout the UK home-purchase process.
