Essentially the valuation safeguards the lender by confirming value and drawing attention to critical defects alone.
Buyers are strongly advised to commission their own independent survey in addition to any lender valuation.
Under the present RICS system buyers can choose from three survey levels suited to different dwellings and individual circumstances.
The most basic option Level One presents a Condition Report structured around a simple traffic-light assessment of the property. The report is intended for conventional dwellings in reasonable repair and deliberately excludes advice on works or a formal valuation.
Most purchasers of ordinary residential property opt for the Level Two survey known as the HomeBuyer Report. Compared with Level One the HomeBuyer Report delivers greater scrutiny advice on remedial work a market value and an insurance rebuild estimate. Surveyors retain the red amber green system while providing richer explanations that clarify the practical consequences of the findings.
Buyers considering aged substantial or unconventional properties are usually directed towards the Level Three Building Survey. It involves a detailed inspection of the structure and fabric and provides extensive advice on defects repairs and maintenance.
A market valuation is not automatically supplied yet the surveyor can provide one upon specific instruction. Lenders customarily commission a valuation as a precondition of releasing the mortgage monies. This valuation is ordered by the lender and is primarily intended to protect the lender’s interests. The limited scope of most lender valuations means they rarely give purchasers the comprehensive picture they require.
Buyer-instructed surveys often identify issues that impact habitability projected outgoings or the overall viability of the purchase. The price of a survey is influenced by the chosen level the property’s scale and position and the rates applied by the surveyor. Pricing rises from the inexpensive Level One through to the higher-cost Level Three reflecting the increased professional input. Most surveyors will discuss the property with the client beforehand so that the most appropriate level can be recommended.
Careful reading of the completed report followed by questions on unclear sections helps the buyer make full use of the information. Serious defects may provide grounds for renegotiating the purchase price or requesting that the seller undertakes remedial work before exchange. 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. In the end commissioning a qualified survey offers buyers valuable reassurance throughout the UK home-purchase process.
